Answer:
2016 km
Explanation:
The escape velocity from Earth's surface is [tex]1.12\times 10^4\ m/s[/tex].
We need to find how many kilometers would a rocket travel in three minutes. It is a concept based on the definition of speed of an object.
Speed = distance per unit time
1 hour = 60 minutes
⇒ 3 minutes = 0.05 hour
1 m/s = 3.6 km/h
11200 m/s = 40320 km/h
So,
[tex]\text{distance}, d=v\times t\\\\d=40320\ km/h \times 0.05\ h\\\\d=2016\ km[/tex]
Hence, a rocket will travel 2016 km in 3 minutes.
