Q:

Saiges spaceship traveled 588 kilometers in 60 seconds. Determine whether or not each spaceship trip below has the same speed as saiges spaceship

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Part 1)  441km in 45s   --> Has the same speed as Saige's spaceshipPart 2) 215km in 25s --> Does not have the same speed as  Saige's spaceshipPart 3) 649km in 110s --> Does not have the same speed as  Saige's spaceshipStep-by-step explanation:The complete question isSaige's spaceship traveled 588 kilometers in 60 seconds.Determine whether or not each spaceship trip below has the same speed as Saige's spaceship.441km in 45s215km in 25s649km in 110swe know thatThe speed is equal to divide the total distance traveled by the total timeIn this problem we have that The speed of Saiges spaceship is equal to[tex]\frac{588}{60}=9.8\ \frac{km}{sec}[/tex]case 1) we have441km in 45sFind out the speed of the  spaceship trip[tex]\frac{441}{45}=9.8\ \frac{km}{sec}[/tex]Compare the speed of the spaceship trip with the speed of Saiges spaceship[tex]9.8\ \frac{km}{sec}=9.8\ \frac{km}{sec}[/tex]thereforeHas the same speed as Saige's spaceshipcase 2) we have215km in 25sFind out the speed of the  spaceship trip[tex]\frac{215}{25}=8.6\ \frac{km}{sec}[/tex]Compare the speed of the spaceship trip with the speed of Saiges spaceship[tex]8.6\ \frac{km}{sec}\neq 9.8\ \frac{km}{sec}[/tex]thereforeDoes not have the same speed as  Saige's spaceshipcase 3) we have649km in 110sFind out the speed of the  spaceship trip[tex]\frac{649}{110}=5.9\ \frac{km}{sec}[/tex]Compare the speed of the spaceship trip with the speed of Saiges spaceship[tex]5.9\ \frac{km}{sec}\neq 9.8\ \frac{km}{sec}[/tex]thereforeDoes not have the same speed as  Saige's spaceship
