Solución

  1. Use the formula for time:
    \[\text { Time} = \frac { \text { Distance} } { \text { Speed} } \]
  2. Substitute the given values:
    \[\text { Time} = \frac { 100 \space \text { km} } { 28440 \space \text { km/h} } \]
  3. Calculate the time in hours:
    \[\text { Time} = \frac { 100} { 28440} \approx 0.003515 \space \text { hours} \]
  4. Convert hours to seconds:
    \[\text { Time in seconds} = 0.003515 \space \text { hours} \times 3600 \space \text { seconds/hour} \approx 12.654 \space \text { seconds} \]
  5. Round to the nearest second:
    \[\text { Time} \approx 13 \space \text { seconds} \]

 

Supplemental Knowledge

Calculating the time it takes for an object to travel a certain distance at a given speed is a fundamental concept in arithmetic and physics. The relationship between speed, distance, and time is expressed by the formula:
\[\text { Time} = \frac { \text { Distance} } { \text { Speed} } \]

Key Points:

  1. Distance (D):
    • The total length of the path traveled by the object.
  2. Speed (S):
    • The rate at which an object covers distance.
  3. Time (T):
    • The duration taken to cover the distance.
      To convert time from hours to seconds:
      \[1 \text { hour} = 3600 \text { seconds} \]

 

From Concepts to Reality

Imagine you are planning a road trip and need to know how long it will take at a certain speed to arrive at your destination. Calculating travel time helps with scheduling rest stops, estimating arrival times and making sure there is sufficient fuel.
