The Ulysses Space Probe of the Sun Encountered the Planet

question 7

Short Answer

The Ulysses space probe of the Sun encountered the planet Jupiter in 1998 and returned to make a second sweep over the Sun's poles in 2000-2001. Determine the time (in seconds and minutes) that it took a radio signal to reach Earth when the space probe was at Jupiter. (Use 778 × 10⁶ km for the distance from the space probe to Earth. The distance varies because Earth and Jupiter are orbiting the Sun.)
