not very far
Average speed is simply the total distance traveled over the time taken to travel that distance, then you change the fraction to equal distance over 1 hour, 1 min, 1 sec, ect.
Assuming that the vehicle's velocity is constant, then: Distance = Velocity x Time So, given that the distance is 3 feet, you need to know the Velocity and the elapsed time. For example if the velocity is 3 feet/sec, and the Time is 1 sec, then the distance is 3 feet traveled. BUT, if the velocity is 6 feet/sec and the time is 0.5 sec, the distance is still 3 feet. So, there are an infinite number of combinations that will give the same result.
I personally have never been farther than about 7.5 miles from earth's surface. Apollo astronauts have traveled as far as lunar orbit, around the far side of the moon, roughly 238,000 miles from earth. That's about 1/2% of the distance to Mars when Mars and earth are as close together as they can ever be, and about 1/4% of the distance to the sun.
You also need to know how long it travels. Just multiply the speed with the time. For instance, if the object moves at 70 feet/sec during 1 minute, you multiply: 70 ft/sec x 1 minute = 70 ft/sec x 60 sec. = 4200 feet.
#include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> void main() { int tim_intrval, counter,time; float accl, distance=0, velos; clrscr(); printf("PROGRAM FOR CALC TOTAL DISTANCE TRAVELED BY A VECHIAL"); printf("\nNO OF TIME INTERVALS : "); scanf("%d",&tim_intrval); for(counter = 1; counter <= tim_intrval; counter++) { printf("\nAT T%d TIME(sec) : ",counter); scanf("%d",&time); printf("\tVELOCITY AT %d sec (m/sec) : ",time); scanf("%f",&velos); printf("\tACCLERATION AT %d sec (m/sec^2): ",time); scanf("%f",&accl); distance += (velos*time + (accl*pow(time,2))/2); } printf("\nTOTAL DISTANCE TRAVELLED BY VEHICLE IN %d INTERVALS OF TIME : %f",tim_intrval,distance); getch(); }
1 hour = 60 minutes 60/15 = 4, or 15 = 1/4 of 60 If distance traveled in 60 minutes = 72km, then in 1/4 that time, you traveled 1/4 of that distance 72/4 = 18km
The farthest distance a rocket has traveled from Earth was achieved by the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which is currently over 14 billion miles away. Voyager 1 was launched in 1977 by NASA to study the outer solar system and has since entered interstellar space, making it the most distant human-made object from Earth.
acceleration = a = (60 - 0)/(9.8) a = 6.12 mi/hr - sec a = (6.12 mi/hr - sec)* (1 hour/3600 sec) a = 0.0017 mi/sec^2 Use the formula S = VoT + (1/2)(a)(T^2) where S = distance travelled Vo = initial velocity = 0 T = time travelled = 9.8 sec a = acceleration = 0.0017 mi/sec^2 Substituting values, S = 0 + (1/2)(0.0017)(9.8^2) S = 0.0816 mi S = 0.0816 mi * 5280 feet/mi = 431 feet
average sun distance form earth : 149669180 Km 1 light year = 9460528400000 Km distance covered by light in 1 year = 9460528400000 Km distance covered in 1 Sec = 299786 Km 149669180 km covered in = 149669180/299786 s = 499.25 light seconds = 18 light min 19.25 light seconds
We know its value at a distances of 6378 km from the centre, that is where most of us are. It is an inverse-square force, so to experience 1/145th of the force you have to go to sqrt(145) times further away, which is a distance of 76,800 km. The force acting on the Moon is 1/3500 of what it is on the Earth's surface, which is why the Moon accelerates towards us at 2.8 mm/sec^2. But that is combined with a sideways velocity of 1 km/sec so it never hits us, it just keeps on going round in circles.
The Distance traveled in miles in 1 light year. TL
1 mile.
