Question

during an experiment , a signal from a spaceship reached the ground station in fie 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 m s- 1​

Answer 1

Answer:

The signal travels in a straight line, the distance between the spaceship and the ground station is equal to the total distance travelled by the signal. 5 minutes = 5*60 seconds = 300 seconds. Speed of the signal = 3 × 108 m/s. = 9*1010 meters
