A spaceship enters the solar system moving toward the Sun at a constant speed relative to the Sun. By its own clock, the time elapsed between the time it crosses the orbit of Jupiter and the time it crosses the orbit of Mars is 50.0 minutes. As measured in the coordinate system of the Sun, how long did it take for the spaceship to travel that distance? The radius of the orbit of Jupiter is 778 x 10^9 m, and that of the orbit of Mars is 228 x 10^9 m.
