Answer:
The answer to your question is below
Explanation:
Data
light speed = 300 000 km/s
a) Express it in scientific notation
to do it, we just move the decimal point 5 places to the left
300 000 = 3.0 x 10 ⁵ km/s
b) Convert this value to meters per hour
(300 000 km/s)(1000 m/1 km)(3600 s/1 h) = 300000x1000x3600 / 1x1x1
= 1.08 x 10¹² m/h
c) What distance in centimeters does light travel in 1 s?
data
v = 300 000 km/s
d = ?
t = 1 s
formula v = d/t we clear distance d = vxt
d = 300000 x 1 = 300000 km
d = 300000000 m = 30000000000 cm
