Question

during an experiment, a signal from a spaceship reached the ground station in 5 minutes. what as the distance of spaceship from the ground station? the signal travells at the speed of light (3*10^{8}

Answer 1

Answer:

9,00,00,000 km

Explanation:

speed of light is 3,00,000 km per sec.

it takes 5 min to reach the station.

5 min = 300 sec

therefore 3,00,000 * 300

=9,00,00,000 km

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak\pink{\underline{\underline{Solution:-}}}$

Speed of light (c) = 3 * ${10}^{8}$ m/s

Time taken by the signal (t) = 5min = 5*60s = 300 s.

Distance of spaceship from ground station = 3*${10}^{8}$

900 * ${10}^{8}$

Answer

9*${10}^{8}$m
