AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of determining the distance of the spaceship from the ground station, we need to follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert Time from Minutes to Seconds:** - Given time is 5 minutes. - We know that 1 minute = 60 seconds. - Therefore, \( 5 \text{ minutes} = 5 \times 60 \text{ seconds} = 300 \text{ seconds} \). ...
