To find the time it will take for the asteroid to hit Mars, we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Rate
Given:
Distance = 3.311 x 10^8 miles
Rate = 7.7 x 10^4 miles/hour
Plugging in the values:
Time = (3.311 x 10^8 miles) / (7.7 x 10^4 miles/hour)
= (3.311/7.7) x (10^8 / 10^4) hours
= 0.429 x 10^4 hours
= 4290 hours
Therefore, it will take approximately 4290 hours for the asteroid to hit Mars.
