plz answer fast

plzz plz​

Answer 1

Answer:

Time taken by a spaceship to give signal to the ground =5minutes =5*60sec=300seconds.

Speed of light or signal =3*10^8m/s.

Distance of the spaceship from the ground station =v(distance)*t(time)=(3*10^8)*300=900*10^8=9*10^2*10^8=(9*10^10).

HOPE IT HELPS.
