Someone gets on an airplane in Greenwich, England. They fly forward in time six hours. What degree longitude would they be near?

Respuesta :

After 6 hours forward flight they would be at: longitude 90° eastward

The Greenwich is at Longitude 0 degrees, for a flight forward in time means that the Flight direction is eastward.

The Longitude lines runs from the north pole to the south pole dividing the globe into 180° to the east and 180° to the west of the equator while crossing the equator at right angles.  

Each Longitude is 15° apart from the closest longitude because the earth is divided int 24 hours ( 12 hours to the east and 12 hours to the west )

i.e. 180° / 12 hours = 15°

Therefore after 6 hours flight ( forward ) the degree of longitude they would be at =  15° * 6 = 90° eastward

Hence we can conclude that they would be at longitude 90° eastward.
