The distance between Earth and Mars is 192,000,000km. It took a spacecraft 200 days to take a space buggy from Earth to Mars. Calculate the speed at which the spacecraft traveled. Give the unit.

Respuesta :

40,000 km an hour because 192000000   /    4800 hours

Speed is the rate of change of position of a particle or an object with respect to the time. It can also describes as the rate of which a particle or object moves.The value of the speed of the spacecraft is 40000 km per hour.

Given-

The distance between Earth and Mars is 192,000,000 km.

Time taken by the spacecraft to send a space buggy from earth to mars is 200 days.

Time taken in hours t,

[tex]t=200\times24[/tex]

[tex]t=4800[/tex]

The speed of the spacecraft has to be calculate. For this we need to know about the speed.

What is speed?

Speed is the rate of change of position of a particle or an object with respect to the time. It can also describes as the rate of which a particle or object moves.

The speed can be calculate by the calculating the ratio of the distance traveled d to the time taken t.

Mathematically,

[tex]s=\dfrac{d}{t}[/tex]

Using the above formula calculate the value of the speed of the spacecraft.

[tex]s=\dfrac{192000000}{4800}[/tex]

[tex]s=40000[/tex]

Hence, the value of the speed of the spacecraft is 40000 km per hour.
