Problema Solution
A moon is about 300,000 miles from the planet in orbits.
A) Write this number is scientific notion
B) if the rocket traveled 5*10 to the fourth power, Miles per hour, how long would it take for each to reach the moon from the planet?
Answer provided by our tutors
A)
300,000 = 3 * 10^5 (or 3 x 10^5)
B)
d = 3*10^5 miles the distance from the planet to the moon
v = 5*10^4 mph the average speed of the rocket
since v = d/t => t = d/v
t = 3*10^5/(5*10^4)
t = 6 hours
the rocket will reach the moon in 6 hours.
