You first need two things: a) the mass of the Sun and b) Jupiter's orbital distance from the Sun. You can easily look up these values in any astronomy book. Once you got both down, apply the formula (which comes from Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion)R3 = GMT2 / 4Pi2whereR = the orbital distance of the planet (in meters)G = the Gravitational Constant (whose value is 6.673x10-11)M = the mass of the Sun (1.98x1030 kg)T = the orbital period of the planet (in seconds). This is your target value.The other operands are straightforward.At this point, all you need to do is substitute the appropriate values in the formula, then rearrange and solve for T. Make absolutely certain you take into account the units; in this case, T will be calculated in seconds. When you have the value of T in seconds at the end of your calculation, simply convert it to days and you will get your answer. (Hint: There are 86,400 seconds in a standard Earth-day.)
meters is the distance traveled per unit time per second. Mileage = meters Time = seconds
It takes 8 minutes to get to earth, and closer to half an hour to get to Jupiter.
That would depend on what time of year you left the Earth. But if you knew the distance between the two planets at their closest. Then all you have to do is divide that distance by 186,000 and this would give you how many seconds away Jupiter was from the Earth. The moon is 250,000 miles away that's 250,000/186,000 = 1.344 seconds away.
The rate that you cover a distance is your speed. Speed is a measure of the distance traveled per unit time. If your units are meters and seconds, then your speed would be in meters/second. To find the speed of something you divide the distance it traveled by the time it took to travel that distance. For example if something traveled 40 meters in 10 seconds its speed would be (40 meters)/(10 seconds) = 4 meters/second
Speed = (distance traveled) divided by (time to cover the distance) Speed = (50 meters) / (2 seconds) Speed = 50 meters per 2 seconds Speed = 25 meters per second
2 meters every second. bit pointless
Jupiter and Earth are not always the same distance apart. At their closest, it would take about 1.96 seconds. At their furthest, about 3.22 seconds.

Speed= Distance / time => Distance = Speed x Time =16x8 = 128m
87 miles per hour = 1,531.2 feet per 12 seconds
1 mile = 5,280 ft 87 miles in 1 hour = 87(5,280 ft) in 3,600 seconds = 459,360 ft. That is 127.6 ft in 1 second. So in 12 seconds the distance traveled will be 1,531.2 ft (12 x 127.6)
No. If you divide a distance by a speed, you get a time, not a speed. For example, (meters) / (meters/second) = (seconds).
speed = distance/time distance = speed x time = (50m/s) x (2.5s) = 125m
Just divide the distance by the time. (In this case, the speed in the answer will be in meters per second.)
