Question

A. If a spacecraft was parked on Venus and needed to make a flight to Jupiter, how far would it need to travel? Show your work and provide your answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

Distance for the spacecraft to travel from Venus to Jupiter = Distance of Jupiter from Sun - Distance of Venus from Sun

Explanation:

⇒ Distance for the spacecraft to travel from Venus to Jupiter = 4.838 × 10⁸ - 6.724 × 10⁷

⇒ Distance for the spacecraft to travel from Venus to Jupiter = 483,800,000 - 67,240,000

⇒ Distance for the spacecraft to travel from Venus to Jupiter = 416,560,000

⇒ Distance for the spacecraft to travel from Venus to Jupiter = 4.1656 × 10⁸
