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?
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 \(\frac{380000km}{12km/s}\) and that gives you 31,666.666 seconds.
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
