Calculate the distance the spacecraft traveled, with the formula:

distance = speed x time

Then divide that distance by the speed of light, since radio waves travel at the speed of light.

You may have to do some unit conversions for both parts of the calculation.

A car traveling 70 miles per hour is 20 miles behind a truck traveling 50 miles per hour. How long will it take the car to overtake the truck?

To determine how long it will take the car to overtake the truck, first calculate the relative speed between them. The car is traveling 70 mph and the truck is at 50 mph, so the car is gaining on the truck at a rate of 70 - 50 = 20 mph. Since the car is 20 miles behind the truck, it will take 20 miles ÷ 20 mph = 1 hour for the car to overtake the truck.

How long will a train 100m long traveling at 72kmph take to overtake another train 200m long traveling at 54kmph?

The difference in speed is 72-54=18kmph which is converted to meters per second by multiplying by 1000 and dividing by 3600 = 5 m/s. Total distance is 300 metres which is 100+200, so time taken is 300/5=60 seconds or exactly one minute.
