Question

The distance from Neptune to Mars is 4.272\times 10^{9}4.272×10 9 kilometers. How long would it take a rocket, traveling at 4.8\times 10^{4}4.8×10 4 kilometers per hour to travel from Neptune to Mars? Round your answer to the nearest whole number of hours.

Answer 1

The time taken is $8.9 * 10^4hrs$

Distances

Given the following information:

• Distance from Neptune to Mars = $4.272\times 10^{9}$
• Time is taken = $4.8\times 10^{4}km/hr$

Get the time taken:

Time  = Distance/Speed

Time = $\frac{4.272\times10^9}{4.8\times 10^4}$

Time = 0.89 * 10^5

Time = 8.9 * 10^4hrs

Hence the time taken is $8.9 * 10^4hrs$
