To find the number of hours it will take for the asteroid to hit Mars, we can divide the distance to Mars by the rate at which the asteroid is traveling:
Time = Distance / Rate
Time = 3.311×108 miles / 7.7×104 mi./hr
Time ≈ 4.297×103 hours
Expressing this answer in scientific notation to the exact decimal place, the number of hours it will take for the asteroid to hit Mars is 4.297×10³ hours.
Time = Distance / Rate
Time = 3.311×108 miles / 7.7×104 mi./hr
Time ≈ 4.297×103 hours
Expressing this answer in scientific notation to the exact decimal place, the number of hours it will take for the asteroid to hit Mars is 4.297×10³ hours.
