Question

A rocket moves through outer space a 12,000 m/s. At this time, how much time would be required to travel the distance from Earth to the Moon, which is 380,000 km?

Answer 1

12,000 m = 12 km

(380,000 km) / (12 km/sec)

= (380,000 / 12) sec

= 31,666-2/3 seconds

= 8 hours 47 minutes 46.7 seconds

Answer 2

12000 m/s = 12 km/s. Now to go 380000 km, it will take some time. How much time is given in the formula 12km/s. You go 12 kilometers every second. So you take
`(380000km)/(12km/s)` and that gives you 31,666.666 seconds.
