The distance from earth to Mercury is 9.21*10^7 kilometers. How long would it take to rocket, traveling at 5.72*10^4 kilometers per hour to travel from earth to Mercury? Round your answer to the nearest whole number of hours.
To calculate the time it would take for the rocket to travel from Earth to Mercury, we divide the distance by the speed of the rocket:
Time = Distance / Speed
Time = 9.21*10^7 km / 5.72*10^4 km/h
Time = 1610 hours
Rounded to the nearest whole number, it would take approximately 1610 hours for the rocket traveling at 5.72*10^4 kilometers per hour to reach Mercury from Earth.
