The correct method would be multiplying the speed of light by the time it takes to travel from the moon to Earth. This is because:

S=So+V*t

In which:

S= space

So= space at the start (origin)

V=speed or velocity

t=time

By multiplying miles/second by seconds you get miles as a result.

Answer:

Multiply 186,282 by 1.3

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Speed at which the light travels = 186,282 miles/sec

Time taken for the light to travel from moon to earth = 1.3 sec

<u>To determine:</u>

Distance between earth and moon

<u>Explanation:</u>

Speed of an object is the ratio of the distance traveled by the time taken

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time} \\\\\\Distance = Speed * Time\\In\ the\ given\ example\\\\Distance = 186,282 miles/sec * 1.3 sec = 242167 miles

1. Explain why the cold water and hot water in Part 1 moved the way they did within the tub of
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Cooling a substance causes molecules to slow down and get slightly closer together, occupying a smaller volume that results in an increase in density. Hot water is less dense and will float on room-temperature water. <u>Cold water is more dense and will sink in room-temperature water.</u>
