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.
