A parsec is approximately 3.08 times 10^16 meters. Dan claims his souped up HHR will travel 2 times 10^-10 parsec in 7 years. Find out how fast Dan claims his HHR will go in kph. Use 365 days/year and 24 hours/day. Express your answer to 3 significant digits.
Solution
total distance covered = 2*10-10 * 3.08*1016 = 6.16*106 m = 6160 km
time taken = 7*365*24 = 61320 hours
speed = Distance / time
Speed = 6160 / 61320
Speed = 0.100 kmph
