How long will it take traveling to mercury if I was going 100 miles per minute

Have you ever wondered how long it might take to travel to Mercury? At its closest point, Mercury gets to within 77.3 million km away from the Earth. Let’s see how long it takes for various spacecraft to get to Mercury.

For starters, let’s look at how long light itself takes to make the journey. Light takes only 4.3 minutes to travel from the Earth to Mercury when they’re at their closest point.

The fastest spacecraft ever launched from Earth is NASA’s New Horizons mission, currently on its way to visit Pluto and the outer Solar System. New Horizons is traveling at about 80,000 kilometers per hour. It would take about 40 days to get from the Earth to Mercury when they’re closest.

Of course, spacecraft don’t travel a straight route between planets, they follow a path that uses the least amount of energy, and so it takes them longer… a lot longer. The first spacecraft to actually make the journey to Mercury was NASA’s Mariner 10, which launched on November 3, 1973. It made its first Mercury flyby on March 29, 1974. Mariner 10 took 147 days to get from Earth to Mercury.

What is 6 more than 7 times a number is 41
son4ous [18]


the problem would be set up as 6+(7*x)=41

first u take off the number 6 by subtracting it from itself to cancel it out then u do the same to the number 41

7x =41 now u need to cancel out the number 7 attatched to the x so u divikde it by itself and then do the same to the other side so 41 divided by 7 =5.9

 so x =5.9

Darcy harvests 8 3/4 acres of corn every 5/6 of an hour. Darcy harvests corn at a constant rate. How many acres does she harvest
Inessa05 [86]

Answer: 10 1/2, which can be simplified as 10.5

Explanation: First, set up a proportion with acres of corn to time in hours:

8 3/4 acres = x acres

5/6 hour = 1 hour

Reorder the terms:

x = (8 3/4) / (5/6)

To figure that out the math, change the mixed fraction to an improper fraction, and change the division into a multiplication:

x = (35/4) * (6/5)

Next cancel out:

x = (7/2) * (3/1)

x = 21/2

Lower that faction the the lowest denominator:

21/2 = 10½

Thus, your answer is 10½, or in other words 10.5

Hope this helps! :)

What is the exact value of sin 30° ?
Tanya [424]
From the equilateral (60-60-60) triangle with all legs of length 1, we can view half the triangle, forming a 30-60-90 triangle, with the hypotenuse measuring 1, the short leg1/2<span>, and the long leg 3 2. Therefore, we have sin 30° = </span>1/2<span>, cos 30° = 3 2, sin 60° = 3 2 and cos 60° = </span>1/2<span>.

i hope this help</span>
