the answer is D) 1.8x10^10

Light will travel the distance of 18*10^9m in 1 minute

Data;

  • speed = 3 * 10^8 m/s
  • distance = 300*10^6 m
  • time in 1 min = 60s =?

Conversion from meter per second to meter per minute

To solve this problem, we would need to convert the rate from m/s to m/min.

60 seconds = 1 minutes

if light can travel 300 *10^6 m in 1 sec, how far can it go in 1 minute?

[tex]1s = 300*10^6m\\ 60s = x m\\ x = 300*10^6 * 60\\ x = 18000000000\\ x = 18*10^9m[/tex]

In 1 minute, light will travel the distance of [tex]18*10^9m[/tex]
