The newest jet fighter, the F-22 Raptor, cruises at 1.5 times the speed of sound. The speed of sound is 1.24x10^3 km/hr. How many hours does it take for the F-22 to fly the 5.8x10^3 km from New York to Paris? Demonstrate the use of scientific method in your calculations.
--------------------
time = distance/rate
time = (5.8x10^3)/[1.5*(1.24x10^3)] = (5.8/(1.5*1.24))(10^3/10^3)
= 3.11x10^0 hours
