Answer to Question #161914 in General Chemistry for erica

Question

You are planning a trip to Mars. The distance from Earth to Mars is 225 million km (2.25 x 10⁸ km). Your spaceship Enterprise is able to travel at a speed of 28,000 km/hr (kilometers per hour). How many days will it take the Enterprise to reach Mars?

Answer 1

The provided information is given below:

Distance = 225 million Km =$2.25 * 10^8 Km$

Speed = 28,000 Km per hour

Time = Distance / Speed = $(2.25 * 10^8)/(28,000) Hour$

Time = 8035.7 Hour

Number of Days = 8035.7/24 = 334.8 days = 335 days
