Question

during experiment signal from a spaceship reached the ground in 5 minutes what was the distance of spaceship from ground station if speed of light is 3 ×10 raise to the power 8 mls​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between the spaceship and the ground station be 'S' .

Then, S=vt

where, v= speed of signal =3×10

8 m/s

t= time taken =5min=5×60s=300s

∴

$s = 3 \times {10}^{8} \times 300 = 9 \times {10}^{10}$
