Question

an experiment a signal from a spaceship reach the ground station in 5 minutes. what was the distance of the spaceship from the ground station? the signal travel at the speed of light , that is 3 x 10⁸​

Answer 1

Speed of signal = 3*10⁸ m/s

Time taken = 5 mins = 5*60 s = 300 seconds

We know,

$d = s \times t$

$d = (3 \times {10}^{8} )(300)$

$\boxed{d = 9 \times {10}^{10} m}$
