Two planes travel at a constant speed which plane a travels 2000 and 800 miles in five hours Plan B travels 3885 miles in seven hours which plane is faster

Respuesta :

Answer:

Since its speed is higher, plane 1 is faster than plane 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing Speeds

The formula for the speed of an object who travels a distance d in a time t is:

[tex]\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]

We have to compare the speeds of the two planes:

The first plane travels d1=2800 miles in t1=5 hours

The second plane travels d2=3885 miles in t2= 7 hours

Calculate both speeds as follows:

[tex]\displaystyle v_1=\frac{d_1}{t_1}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle v_1=\frac{2800}{5}[/tex]

[tex]v_1=560\ mi/h[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle v_2=\frac{d_2}{t_2}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle v_2=\frac{3885}{7}[/tex]

[tex]v_2=555\ mi/h[/tex]

Since its speed is higher, plane 1 is faster than plane 2.
