2. Recall that speed is v=dtv=dt where dd is the distance traveled and tt is the time it took to make the journey.
The fastest space probe humans have made traveled at 6×1046×104 kilometers per hour.
On average it takes 200 days to reach Mars.
What is the distance in kilometers that such a spacecraft would travel?
×10×10
km
What is this same distance in light-minutes?
light-minutes
Mars is, on average 20 light minutes away. Explain why this number is slightly larger than the number of light-minutes a spacecraft would travel to reach Mars.
