Answer:

t = 6.67 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance of Moon from Earth,
d=2.4* 10^5\ miles

The speed of the spacecraft,
v=3.6* 10^4\ miles/hour

We need to find the time it take this spacecraft to fly to the moon from earth. Let the time is t.

We know that,

Speed = distance/time


t=(d)/(v)\\\\t=(2.4* 10^5)/(3.6* 10^4)\\\\t=6.67\ s

So, the required time is equal to 6.67 seconds.
