Question

5. During an experiment, a signal
from a spaceship reached the
ground station in five minutes.
What was the distance of the
spaceship from the ground
station? The signal travels at the
speed of light, that is, 3 x 10⁸
ms-¹​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given:t=5 min=5×60=300 seconds

speed=3×10^8 m/s

Distance= Time taken ×Speed

=3×10^8×300

=3×3×10^8×10^2

=9×10^(8+2)

=9×10^10 m
