How many years would it take to fly to the sun on a spacecraft that travels 1,000 m/s? (The sun is 93,000,000 miles away) (USE DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS)

1 answer

I would convert 1000 m/s to miles/year.
There are 1609.34 m in 1 mile.
There are 3.1254E7 seconds in 1 year.
? miles/yr x #years = 93,000,000
Solve for #years.
