Answer:
2hrs
Explanation:
Given parameters
Top speed of the jet = 4500km/hr
Distance = 3000km
Unknown:
Time = ?
Solution:
Velocity is the displacement divided by time.
Velocity = [tex]\frac{displacement}{time}[/tex]
Time = [tex]\frac{displacement}{velocity}[/tex]
The jet flies at one - third its maximum speed;
So, speed of the jet = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] x 4500 = 1500km/hr
Time = [tex]\frac{3000}{1500}[/tex] = 2hrs
