Example: Country A is 600km away from Country B, a bomb on average will take 3 seconds to hit fly a distance of 120km. How long will it take for a bomb to hit Country B from Country A? COUNTRY A COUNTRY B 600 km Speed = Distance/Time (V = D/T) When D = 120 and T = 3, V = 120/3 = 40km² When V = 40 and D = 600, 40 = 600/T 40T = 600 T = 600/40 T = 15s Hence, a bomb will take 15 seconds to hit Country B from Country A.
