The escape velocity from Earth’s surface is 1.12*10^4 meters per second. At this speed, how many kilometers would a rocket travel in 3 minutes

2016 Km.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Speed (S) = 1.12×10⁴ m/s

Time (t) = 3 mins

Distance (d) =.?

Next, we shall convert 3 mins to seconds. This can be obtained as follow:

1 min = 60 s

Therefore,

3 mins = 3 min × 60 s / 1 min

3 mins = 180 s

Next, we shall determine the distance travelled by the rocket. This is illustrated below:

Speed (S) = 1.12×10⁴ m/s

Time (t) = 180 s

Distance (d) =.?

Speed (S) = distance (d) /time (t)

S = d/t

1.12×10⁴ = d/ 180

Cross multiply

d = 1.12×10⁴ × 180

d = 2016000 m

Finally, we shall convert 2016000 m to Km. This can be obtained as shown below:

1000 m = 1 Km

Therefore,

2016000 m = 2016000 m × 1 Km / 1000 m

2016000 m = 2016 Km

Therefore, the rocket will travel 2016 Km in 3 mins
