7. The Voyager 1 space probe was launched in the 1970's and is now the furthest

man-made object from earth - it has actually left the solar system. At its current speed it
could travel across the US, a distance of about 4500 km in 265 seconds (a little less
than 5 minutes!) What is its average speed in kilometers per second?

if we divide 4500 by 265, we get about 16.98km/second. hope this helps!
