Answer:

Option C =8.4672\times10^{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Astronomers measure large distances in light years. One light-year is the distance that light can travel in one year or approximately 5,880,000,000,000 miles.

Suppose a star is 14.4 light years from earth.

To find : How many miles away a star is from earth?

Solution :

In 1 light-year the distance a light can travel is = 5,880,000,000,000 miles.

                                                                   or = 5.88\times 10^{12} miles

In 14.4 lights year the distance is  =14.4\times (5.88\times10^{12})

                                                        =84.672\times10^{12}

                                                    or =8.4672\times10^{13}

Therefore, Option C is correct - =8.4672\times10^{13}

xz_007 [3.2K]
After every drop,the ball bounces to half it's previous height. With that understood.

1st drop -The ball drops 10m

1st bounce - 5m up
2nd drop - 5m down

2nd bounce - 2.5m up
3rd drop - 2.5m down

3rd bounce - 1.25m up
4th drop - 1.25m down

4th bounce - 0.625m up
5th/last drop - 0.625m down

To find the total vertical distance, you add them all.

10+5+5+2.5+2.5+1.25+1.25+0.625+0.625
=29.25m travelled in all.
