To solve the problem of finding the speed of the radar signal, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the problem The radar sends a signal to an aircraft that is 30 km away. The signal travels to the aircraft and then reflects back to the radar. We need to find the speed of the signal based on the time it takes for the signal to make this round trip. ### Step 2: Calculate the total distance traveled by the signal The distance to the aircraft is 30 km. Since the signal travels to the aircraft and then back, the total distance (D) is: \[ ...

NASA's New Horizons Interplanetary probe has been making its way to Pluto since January 2006. In July 2015, it reached Pluto and sent a ratio transmission signal at speed of 1.86 times10^(5) miles per second. If the signal traveled a distance back to Earth of approximately 3.06times10^(9) miles, how many minutes did it take for the signal to reach Earth, correct to the nearest 5 minutes?
