  1. Answer:

    6 mps to the nearest mps.

    Step-by-step explanation

    The rocket that carried the Curiosity Rover to Mars traveled at a speed of 21,000 miles per hour. What is this speed to the nearest mile per second?

    1 hr = 3600 sec


    Since an hour is 3600 seconds (i.e., 60 x 60), you simply need to divide that number by 3600


    → 21000 mph = 21000 ÷ 3600 mps = 5 5/6 mps →

    ANSWER : 6 mps to the nearest mps.
