Answer:

t= 8.7*10⁻⁴ sec.

Explanation:

If the signal were able to traverse this distance at an infinite speed, the propagation delay would be zero.

As this is not possible, (the maximum speed of interactions in the universe is equal to the speed of light), there will be a finite propagation delay.

Assuming that the signal propagates at a constant speed, which is equal to 2.3*10⁸ m/s (due to the characteristics of the cable, it is not the same as if it were propagating in vaccum, at 3.0*10⁸ m/s), the time taken to the signal to traverse the 200 km, which is equal to the propagation delay, can be found applying the average velocity definition:

v = \frac{(xf-xo)}{(t-to)}

If we choose x₀ = 0 and t₀ =0, and replace v= 2.3*10⁸ m/s, and xf=2*10⁵ m, we can solve for t:

t =\frac{xf}{v}  =\frac{2e5 m}{2.3e8 m/s} =8.7e-4 sec.

⇒ t = 8.7*10⁻⁴ sec.

Your question wasn't very clear, but I think I understand what you want. Additionally, you should really state what language you're working with. Here it is in C#, and shouldn't be too much of a hassle to translate in to other languages.


Console.Write("Enter payment: ");

float payment;

if (float.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out payment))
    Console.WriteLine((Math.Floor(payment * 100) / 100) * 0.15, + " at 15% tip.");
else

Continuous data
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: Could be subdivided into smaller and smaller units.

Explanation:

 The continuous data are basically measured in the small units and can be easily subdivided into smaller parts without changing their actual meaning.

The continuous data also contain numeric value and can be divided into smaller and finer meaningful parts.

The continuous data can be measured according to the precision of the system. The size and volume are the example of the continuous data.
