Answer:

C) 6000 meters.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the speed is computed as the distance divided by the time to attain such displacement:

[tex]s=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]

Knowing that the speed is 1500 m/s and the required time is 4 s because is the half of the described travel, the distance is then:

[tex]d=s*t\\\\d=1500m/s*4s\\\\d=6000m[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is C) 6000 meters.

Best regards.
