Problema Solution
the sun is 93 million miles from earth. About how many years would it take to travel from earth to the sun if a person could fly in a spaceship at 55 miles per hour?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
d = 93*10^6 mi distance
v = 55 mph the speed
t = ?
since speed = distance/time we follows times = distance/speed
t = d/v
t = 93*10^6/55
t = 1,690,909.09 hr
since 1 year = 8765.81 hr
t = 1,690,909.09/8765.81
t = 192,9 years
or
t = 193 years approximately
it would take 193 years to travel from the earth to the sun.
