TED-Ed: A trip through space to calculate distance - Heather Tunnell

The video tutorial follows a space race between two aliens, Blee-bop and Mark, who start from different asteroids to reach their moon. Using the DRT formula (Distance = Rate x Time), the video explains how to calculate the speed of each rocket. Despite Mark arriving first, Blee-bop's rocket is faster. The tutorial concludes by highlighting the practical applications of the DRT formula in everyday scenarios.

What is the distance of Blee-bop's rocket from the moon?

What formula is used to calculate distance, rate, and time?

How long did it take Mark to reach the moon?

What was Mark's rate in miles per hour?

Why is it surprising that Blee-bop had the faster rocket despite arriving later?
