Q. The distance from Uranus to Jupiter is 2.092×109 kilometers. How long would it take a rocket, traveling at 2.5×104 kilometers per hour to travel from Uranus to Jupiter? Round your answer to the nearest whole number of hours.Answer: ____hours
Identify Given Values: Identify the given values and what needs to be calculated.We are given:- The distance from Uranus to Jupiter: 2.092×109 kilometers- The speed of the rocket: 2.5×104 kilometers per hourWe need to calculate the time it would take for the rocket to travel this distance at the given speed.
Use Time Formula: Use the formula for time, which is distance divided by speed.Time = SpeedDistanceTime = 2.5×104 km/h2.092×109 km
Perform Division: Perform the division to calculate the time.Time = (2.092×109)/(2.5×104)Time = (2.092/2.5)×(109/104)Time = 0.8368×105
Simplify Result: Simplify the result to find the time in hours.Time = 0.8368×105 hoursTime = 83,680 hours
Round Answer: Round the answer to the nearest whole number as instructed.Time ≈83,680 hours (rounded to the nearest whole number)
