| Determine what the speed of the spacecraft should be if it is to fly from Earth to Venus in 30 days. The distance between the planets is 41.6 million km.
The speed is determined by the formula: V = S: t
t = 30 days = 30 × 24 × 60 × 60 = 2,592,000 s
V = 41,600,000 km: 2,592,000 s = 16.05 km / s
Answer: 16.05 km / s
