Kalpana in her space mission went around earth 252 times.
Explanation:
To find the number of times Kalpana went around the earth during her space mission, we need to consider the time it takes for her to complete one orbit around the earth.
One orbit around the earth is completed when the spacecraft returns to the same position relative to the earth. This means that the spacecraft has completed one full revolution around the earth.
The time it takes for the spacecraft to complete one orbit is given by the formula:
Time taken = Circumference of the orbit / Speed of the spacecraft
The circumference of the earth's orbit can be calculated using the formula:
Circumference = 2 * π * Radius
The radius of the earth's orbit is approximately equal to the average distance between the earth and the sun, which is about 150 million kilometers or 150,000,000 km.
Using this information, we can calculate the circumference of the earth's orbit:
Circumference = 2 * 3.14 * 150,000,000 km
= 942,000,000 km
Now, we need to know the speed of the spacecraft. Let's assume that the spacecraft travels at a constant speed of 28,000 kilometers per hour.
Using the formula mentioned earlier, we can calculate the time taken to complete one orbit:
Time taken = 942,000,000 km / 28,000 km/hr
= 33,642.85 hours
Since we are asked to find the number of times Kalpana went around the earth, we need to convert the time taken into a whole number. As there are 24 hours in a day, we divide the total time taken by 24:
Number of orbits = 33,642.85 hours / 24 hours/day
= 1,401.785 days
Since we cannot have a fraction of a day, we round the number of days to the nearest whole number:
Number of orbits = 1,402 days
Therefore, Kalpana went around the earth 1,402 times during her space mission.
However, none of the provided options match the calculated answer.
Hence, the correct answer cannot be determined based on the given options.
