How long approximately would it take someone to travel from the Earth to Pluto going 60 miles per hour the whole way? I assume it would take years. Please simplify your answer into the complicated decimal of years. Use your computer calculator. Thanks!How long would it take someone to travel from Earth to Pluto going 60 miles per hour the whole way?The distance varies between 30 - 49 AU / 4.4e12m - 7.4e12m .. If we take the average as 5.7e12m ..
Velocity conversion - (60*1609)/3600 = 26.88m/s
Time Taken - 5.7e12/26.88 = 212053571429s
Time conversion - 212053571429/31557600 = 6719.6 years
It also depends who we're taking about when we ask "how long it takes" .. it would take about 0.001 seconds less time for the traveller than the observer watching (time dilation/relativity) .. and there's also the time it takes for light to get from Pluto to Earth .. 5.3hrs. ;pHow long would it take someone to travel from Earth to Pluto going 60 miles per hour the whole way?What if I don't want to use my computer calculator?
I'll give you a few hints on how to do it.
1) Find the average distance (in miles) of Pluto from the Sun.
2) Find the average distance (in miles) of the Earth from the Sun.
3) Subtract those distances (Pluto - Earth = D)
4) Divide 60 into that result (D/60 = R).
5) Note result (R).How long would it take someone to travel from Earth to Pluto going 60 miles per hour the whole way?good question
