Question

During an experiment a signal from a space ship reached
the ground station in 5min what was the distance of
the spaceship from the ground slation the signal travel
speed of light that is 3x10power3 m/s​

Answer 1

$\huge{Answer}$

Let the distance between the spaceship and the ground station be 'S' .

Then, S=vt

where, v= speed of signal =3×10(8)

m/s

t= time taken =5min=5×60s=300s

∴s=3×10(8)

×300=9×10(10)m

Answer 2

You have given wrong value of speed of light.....the correct value is 3×10^8 m/s

Time taken for the signal to reach the ground station = 5min = 300sec

Speed of signal (light) = 3×10^8 m/s

Therefore distance=

$= speed \times time$

$= 3 \times {10}^{8} \times 300$

$= 900 \times {10}^{8}$

$= 9 \times {10}^{10}$

Therefore, distance from spaceship to ground station is 9×10^10 m/s
