(i already did part a, it is just a guide to . just answer all the questions from part b and show youryou so much, if you you will be getting 34 points.)

Part B - Question 1

Distance for the spacecraft to travel from Venus to Jupiter = Distance of Jupiter from Sun - Distance of Venus from Sun

⇒ Distance for the spacecraft to travel from Venus to Jupiter = 4.838 × 10⁸ - 6.724 × 10⁷

⇒ Distance for the spacecraft to travel from Venus to Jupiter = 483,800,000 - 67,240,000

⇒ Distance for the spacecraft to travel from Venus to Jupiter = 416,560,000

⇒ Distance for the spacecraft to travel from Venus to Jupiter = 4.1656 × 10⁸

Part B - Question 2  

Combined distance of Mercury, Venus, and Earth from the Sun = Distance of Mercury from Sun + Distance of Venus from Sun + Distance of Earth from Sun

⇒ Combined distance of Mercury, Venus, and Earth from the Sun = 5.7909 × 10⁷ + 6.724 × 10⁷ + 9.296 × 10⁷

⇒ Combined distance of Mercury, Venus, and Earth from the Sun = 21.8109 × 10⁷

⇒ Combined distance of Mercury, Venus, and Earth from the Sun = 2.18109 × 10⁸

Distance of Neptune from the Sun = 2.793 × 10⁹

Hence, we can see that the combined distance of Mercury, Venus and Earth from the Sun is less than that of Neptune from the Sun.

Part B - Question 3

If Earth was 10 times farther away from the sun, then the new distance between the Sun and the Earth = 10 × 9.296 × 10⁷

⇒ New distance between the Sun and the Earth = 9.296 × 10⁸

Now, the Earth will be closest to Saturn, which is 8.907 × 10⁸ away from the Sun

New Distance between Earth and Saturn = Distance of Earth from Sun - Distance of Saturn from Sun

⇒ New Distance between Earth and Saturn = 9.296 × 10⁸ - 8.907 × 10⁸

⇒ New Distance between Earth and Saturn = 0.389 × 10⁸

⇒ New Distance between Earth and Saturn = 3.89 × 10⁷ (in scientific notation)

⇒ New Distance between Earth and Saturn = 38,900,000 (in standard notation)

Part B - Question 4

Speed of space shuttle = 28,000 km per hour

Time spent to travel from Saturn to Earth =

⇒Time spent to travel from Saturn to Earth =

⇒Time spent to travel from Saturn to Earth =

⇒Time spent to travel from Saturn to Earth =

⇒Time spent to travel from Saturn to Earth = 28,490.7 hours

⇒Time spent to travel from Saturn to Earth = 28,491 hours

Hence, it will take 28,491 hours or 2.8491 x 10⁵ hours for the space shuttle to travel from Saturn to Earth.

1) Jupiter is at a distance of from Venus.

2) The sum of the distances of Mercury, Venus and Earth from the Sun () is less than the distance of Neptune from the Sun ().

3) If the Earth was 10 times farther away from the Sun, then Saturn would be the planet closest to the Earth and the distance between the two planets would be kilometers.

4) The space shuttle would take 28489.286 hours to reach Saturn from the Earth.

1) The distance between Venus and Jupiter determined by subtracting the distance to Venus from Sun of the distance to Jupiter from the Sun, that is to say:

Jupiter is at a distance of from Venus.

2) The total distance is the sum of the distances of Mercury, Venus and Earth from the Sun, which is compared with the distance of Neptune from the Sun:

This result is less than the distance of Neptune from the Sun.

The sum of the distances of Mercury, Venus and Earth from the Sun () is less than the distance of Neptune from the Sun ().

3) If the Earth was 10 times farther away from the Sun than it is now, then resulting distance would be and Saturn would be the planet closest to the Earth and the distance between the two planets would be:

If the Earth was 10 times farther away from the Sun, then Saturn would be the planet closest to the Earth and the distance between the two planets would be kilometers.

4) If we know that distances of the Earth and Saturn from the Sun are and , respectively:

Let suppose that the space shuttle travels at constant velocity, then the time taken to reach Saturn from the Earth is:

(1)

Where:

If we know that and , then the time is:

The space shuttle would take 28489.286 hours to reach Saturn from the Earth.

step-by-step explanation:

u divide 24 by 3 and u get 8 so if u do 8 time 7 or 8+8+8+8+8+8+8 u get 56 and 56 divided by 7 is 8.
