An asteroid is heading toward Mars at the rate of 7.7×104 mi./hr. If the asteroid is 3.311×108 miles away from Mars, how many hours will it be before it hits Mars? Write the answer in scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal place.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the time it will take for the asteroid to hit Mars, we need to divide the distance by the speed.

Distance = 3.311×10^8 miles
Speed = 7.7×10^4 mi./hr

Time = Distance / Speed = (3.311×10^8) / (7.7×10^4) = 4.29805195 × 10^3 hours

The time it will take for the asteroid to hit Mars is approximately 4.298 × 10^3 hours.
