Question

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 10
ms-1​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed=30m/s

Time=5 mins. =300 sec.

Distance=?

Speed=distance/time

Therefore,distance=speed×time

=30×300=9000m

Answer 2

Answer:

Hello friend!!!

Your question is to find the distance of this distance of spaceship from the ground when the signal travelling at the speed 3 into 10 to the power 8 reach the ground after 5 minutes.

♦1 minute is equal to 60 seconds

♦5 minutes is equal to 60×5 seconds = 300 seconds

★So the distance = speed × time

= 300 × 3 ×10 to the power 8

=9 × 10 to the power 10 meters

★So the distance of the spaceship from the ground is 9 × 10 to the power 10 meters

HOPE THAT HELPS.... ☺️
