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 3x10 ms

Answer 1

What we know :-

speed of signal = 3×10^8 m/s

time taken = 300sec

Formula:-

s = ut

s = 3 ×10 ^8 × 3 × 10^2

s = 9 × 10^10 meter

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.... ☺️
