During an experiment se signal from a spaceship reached
the ground station in 5 minutes. What was the distance of the spaceship from ground station? The signal traveled at the speed of light 3 * 10 to the power 8 m/s-​

Answer 1

Given that

The signal travels in a straight line, the distance between the spaceship and the ground station is equal to the total distance travelled by the signal.

Find out

The distance of the spaceship from the ground station

Solution

5 minutes = 5*60 seconds = 300 seconds.

Speed of the signal = 3 × 108 m/s.

Therefore, total distance = (3 × 108 m/s) * 300s

= 9*1010 meters.
