Solution

To convert the speed from miles per hour to kilometers per hour, you need to divide the speed in miles per hour by the conversion factor, which is 0.6214 miles per kilometer.

Here are the steps:

  1. Start with the speed in miles per hour: 21,000 mph.
  2. Divide this speed by the conversion factor: 21,000 mph ÷ 0.6214 miles/km.
  3. Perform the division to get the speed in kilometers per hour.

Let's do the calculation:

21,000 mph ÷ 0.6214 miles/km = 33,793.5 km/h

Rounding to the nearest whole number gives 33,794 km/h.

Select the correct answer.In stage 2 of a rocket's takeoff, the speed of the rocket increases at a rate of 4.3% per minute. The speed of the rocket at the beginning of stage 2 was 5,000 kilometers per hour. Its speed at the end of Stage 2 will be 25,000 kilometers per hour.If t is the time, in minutes, from the beginning of stage 2, which equation could be used to determine how long it will take for the speed of the rocket to reach 25,000 kilometers per hour, assuming it increases at the same rate for all of stage 2? A. 25,000=5,000⁢(1.043)𝑡 B. 5,000=25,000⁢(0.043)𝑡 C. 25,000=5,000⁢(1.43)𝑡 D. 5,000=25,000⁢(0.957)𝑡
