The approximate distance between mars and earth is about 1.34 × 108 miles. how many seconds would it take for tv pictures transmitted from the viking space vehicle on mars's surface to reach earth? enter your answer in scientific notation.

Time taken from transmission = 719.61 seconds or  11.99 minutes

Explanation:

Given data:

The distance between the mars and the earth = 1.34 × 10⁸ miles

Now, converting the distance into meters

1 mile = 1.61 km = 1610 m

thus, we have

1.34 × 10⁸ miles = 1610 × 1.34 × 10⁸ m = 2.1574 × 10¹¹ m

Now, the picture will travel with the speed of light i.e 2.998 × 10⁸ m/s

also,

Time = Distance/speed

thus we have,

Time taken from transmission = (2.1574 × 10¹¹ m)/(2.998 × 10⁸ m/s)

or

Time taken from transmission = 719.61 seconds or (719.61/60 = 11.99 minutes)
