4) nasa has sent many instruments to explore the planet mars. in order to safely land on the planet’s surface a mars rover must be going under 23,455 feet/ second before the parachute is deployed. however, since nasa uses the metric system you need to convert the speed to km/hour or the rover will crash! 23,455 ft/sec

4) nasa has sent many instruments to explore the planet mars. in order to safely land on the planet’s surface a mars rover must be going under 23,455 feet/ second before the parachute is deployed. however, since nasa uses the metric system you need to convert the speed to km/hour or the rover will crash! 23,455 ft/sec

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Convert feet to km

1 foot = 0.0003048 km, so 23455 feet = 23455×0.0003048 km.

Step2: Convert seconds to hours

1 hour = 3600 seconds, so 1 second = $\frac{1}{3600}$ hours.

Step3: Calculate speed in km/hour

Speed = $\frac{23455×0.0003048}{\frac{1}{3600}}$ km/hour = 25476.072 km/hour.

Answer:

25476.072 km/hour
