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 10^8
ms-1​

Answer 1

Answer:

(9 × 10^10) m

Explanation:

5min = 5 × 60 sec = 300 sec

Now we know that

Distance = Speed × Time

Therefore, distance of the

spaceship = (3 × 10^8 × 300) m

= (9 × 10^10) m
