Answer: The spacecraft traveled 345 km during the given time.
Explanation:
To calculate the distance of spacecraft, we use the equation:
We are given:
Velocity = 2.3 km/sec
Time = 2.5 mins = 150 sec (Conversion factor: 1 min = 60 sec)
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the spacecraft traveled 345 km during the given time.
