Given that average speed is distance traveled divided by time, determine the values of m and n when the time it takes a beam of light to get from the Sun to the Earth (in s) is written in scientific notation. Note: the speed of light is approximately 3.0×108 m/s. Enter m and n, separated by commas.

Answer:

[tex]5,2[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of light [tex]C=3.0×10^8 m/s.[/tex]

Generally the equation for Average Speed is mathematically given by

[tex]V_{avg}=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]

Where

d=Distance between the Earth and the sun

[tex]d=1.5*10^11m[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]t=\frac{d}{V_{avg}}[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{1.5*10^11m}{3.0×10^8 m/s.}[/tex]

[tex]t=5*10^2s[/tex]

Since m and n is given in the form of

[tex]m*10^n[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]m=5 & n=2[/tex]

[tex]5,2[/tex]
