Calculate Saige's spaceship speed: Calculate the speed of Saige's spaceship.Speed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken. Saige's spaceship traveled 588km in 60s.Speed = Distance / TimeSpeed =60s588kmSpeed =9.8km/s
Calculate first trip speed: Calculate the speed of the first spaceship trip (441km in 45s).Speed = Distance / TimeSpeed =441km/45sSpeed =9.8km/sThis speed is the same as Saige's spaceship speed.
Calculate second trip speed: Calculate the speed of the second spaceship trip (215km in 25seconds).Speed =TimeDistanceSpeed =25s215kmSpeed =8.6km/sThis speed is not the same as Saige's spaceship speed.
Calculate third trip speed: Calculate the speed of the third spaceship trip (649km in 110s).Speed =TimeDistanceSpeed =110s649kmSpeed =5.9km/sThis speed is not the same as Saige's spaceship speed.
