To determine the distance of the light that has traveled given the time it takes to travel that distance, we need a relation that would relate time with distance. In any case, it would be the speed of the motion or specifically the speed of light that is travelling which is given as 3x10^8 meters per second. So, we simply multiply the time to the speed. Before doing so, we need to remember that the units should be homogeneous. We do as follows:

distance = 3x10^8 m/s ( 8.3 min ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) = 1.494x10^11 m

Since we are asked for the distance to be in kilometers, we convert

distance = 1.494x10^11 m ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 149400000 km

A tennis player swings and hits the ball away. How does the force of the tennis racket affect the motion of the ball
defon

The force of the racket affects the ball's motion because it changes the momentum of the ball.

<h3>Impulse received by the ball</h3>

The impulse received by the ball through the racket affects the motion because it changes the momentum of the ball.

The ball which is initially at rest, will gain momentum after been hit with the racket.

J = ΔP = Ft

where;

  • J is the impulse received by the ball
  • ΔP is change in momentum of the ball
  • F is the applied force
  • t is the time of action

Thus, the force of the racket affects the ball's motion because it changes the momentum of the ball.
