Given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.

<h3>What is Speed?</h3>

Speed is simply referred to as distance traveled per unit time.

Mathematically, Speed = Distance ÷ time.

Given the data in the question;

  • Speed of the Ultraviolet light c = 3.0 × 10⁸m/s = 1.08 × 10⁹km/h
  • Distance it must cover d = 4.0 × 10¹³km
  • Time elapsed t = ?

We substitute our given values into the expression above.

Speed = Distance ÷ time

1.08 × 10⁹km/h = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ t

t = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ 1.08 × 10⁹km/h

t = 3.7 × 10⁴ hrs

Therefore, given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.

Describe how humans’ actions and natural processes have modified coastal regions in Louisiana and other locations
il63 [147K]
Coastal erosion has depleted a large portion of South Louisiana's wetlands along the coastline in swamps and marshes mainly due to storm surges. But other factors also contributed to this erosion. Canals and waterways dug through the marshes and swamps for the oil industry is one factor. Man-made levees erected to provide protection to residents living adjacent to the river is another major cause. Large scale logging especially in the early 1900's also damaged the wetlands.
