Answer:
3700hours
154days
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed can be defined as the distance cover per time, it can be expressed as
Speed= distance/ time........eqn(1)
Given:
distance between two planets= 4.07×10^¹²
speed of light = 1.1×10^⁹ kilometres per hour
Time= ??
Then substitute the values into equation (1) we have
Speed= distance/ time
1.1×10^⁹ kilometres per hour= 4.07×10^¹²kilometre/ time
Cross multiply, we have
Time= (4.07×10^¹²kilometre) /(1.1×10^⁹ kilometres per hour)
Time= 3700hours.
To convert to day, we know that
60 minute= 1hour
24hour=1day
Time= (3700hour×1day)/24hour
Time= 154days approximately.
Hence, the time taken for light to travel from one of these planets to the other is 154days or 3700hours
