Answered using GPT-4o by AI Answer Generator

Question:

I jump 1,000 miles away exactly which took 10 seconds. How fast was i? In MPH

Answer:

To find out how fast you were traveling, you can use the formula for speed, which is distance divided by time. In this case, you traveled 1,000 miles in 10 seconds.

First, convert the time from seconds to hours, since speed is typically measured in miles per hour (MPH). There are 3,600 seconds in an hour, so:

[ \text{Time in hours} = \frac{10 \text{ seconds}}{3600 \text{ seconds/hour}} = \frac{1}{360} \text{ hours} ]

Now, calculate the speed:

[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{1000 \text{ miles}}{\frac{1}{360} \text{ hours}} = 1000 \times 360 = 360,000 \text{ MPH} ]

So, you were traveling at a speed of 360,000 miles per hour.
