Question

Q.8. During an experiment asigual 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 m​

Answer 1

Answer:

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=3×10

8

×300=9×10

10

m

Explanation:

here is your answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The signal travels at the speed of light, that is, 3×108ms−1. Hint – Here we will proceed by using the formula for speed to find out the distance of the spaceship from the ground station. So the distance of the spaceship from the ground is 9×1010 meters.
