Mission to Pluto.The New Horizons spacecraft took about 9 1/2 years to travel from Earth to Pluto. Because of Pluto’s distance at the time of the encounter, the total distance that New Horizons traveled from Earth to Pluto was about 34 AU. a) About how fast was it traveling on average? Give your answer in AU per year. b) About how fast was it traveling on average? Give your answer in kilometers per hour.

ANSWER 3A, B, AND C!
3. The star system that is closest to the earth is Alpha Centauri. It is 4.37 light years away in Earth's reference frame. The fastest spacecraft humans have ever launched is New Horizons, which sent us sweet pictures of Pluto in 2015. It attained a speed of 45 km/s relative to the sun. That's fast, but even at this rate, interstellar travel is not practical. a) Traveling at 45 km/s, how long, in years, would...

80.A spacecraft is approaching Mars after a long trip from the Earth. Its velocity is such that it is traveling along a parabolic trajectory under the influence of the gravitational force from Mars. The distance of closest approach will be 300 km above the Martian surface. At this point of closest approach, the engines will be fired to slow down the spacecraft and place it in a circular orbit 300 km above the surface. (a) By what percentage must the...
