Question

2 : During an experiment, a signal from a light tower reached the boat
in 3 minutes. What was the distance between the boat and the light
tower, if the signal travels at the speed of light, i.e., 3 x 108 m/s.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Speed= distance/time
2. Distance = speed × time
3. Distance = 3×108m/s × 3min(3×60=180seconds)
4. Distance = 58320 metres.

So the distance between boat and light tower is 58320 metres.
