From the start of Monday the 21st of September my class mates and I have been learning about Kinematic equations and how to use them in kinematics problems based on Kinematic equations. An article on the Business Insider relates to what I have learnt about in class because using the kinematic equations can help us solve the speed, distance velocity and time of (as said in the article) the supersonic passenger jet airliner Concorde. As claimed in the article by the author, "The Concorde flew across the ocean for the first time 42 years ago today — here's what it was like." 

An Air France Concorde

On the article the author claims that, "On September 26th 1973, an Air France Concorde flew from Washington DC, to Paris - marking the first supersonic flight by the Anglo-French airliner." As said from the beginning, the aircraft flew across the ocean. Here this would be the North Atlantic ocean because the Concorde aircraft flew from Washington DC to Paris and the ocean between the United States and France is the North Atlantic Ocean. The aircraft's maximum speed is 2,179 km/h and if we were to find out the aircraft's time from Washington DC to Paris we would use the equation Time = Distance/velocity. 3,828/ 2,179. 3,828 miles to km = 4.8 km. 4.8/2179 = 0.0022 minutes.
