change the 4000 km to 4000000m
divide by 275 m/s and this will give you the number of seconds
divide by 3600 (# of seconds in an hour) and this will give you the time in hours (I get 4.040404….) hours
so, just over 4 hours
however, remember that a plane does not take off or land at full speed. it starts slowing down about 20 minutes before landing.
good luck – M

4000,000 divided by 275 = time in seconds
There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day …
