If the coast-to-coast distance is about 2900 miles, it will take about ...
... (2900 mi)/(186000 mi/s) ≈ 15.6 ms
for the signal to travel coast-to-coast at light speed.
_____
There are time delays due to the amplifiers and repeaters required in the path, and due to the fact that the signals don't actually travel at the speed of light in a wire.
A test of internet speed between Seattle and Washington, DC shows a round-trip time of about 87 ms when traffic is light. Modern communication channels tend to be faster than the telegraph (especially when measured in words per minute).

Explanation:
Austria-Hungary was a nation of many different nationalities. If each ethnic group became an independent nation, there would be no more Austria-Hungary. Therefore, the nationalists were a threat to Austria-Hungary because if they took action, the empire would fall apart.
Answer:
The passenger aircraft would take 10.542 years to reach the Sun from the Earth.
The passenger aircraft would take
years to reach the gallactic center.
Explanation:
The distance to the sun from the Earth is approximately equal to
, if the passenger travels at constant speed, then the time needed to reach the sun is calculated by the following kinematic formula:
(1)
Where:
- Travelled distance, measured in kilometers.
- Speed of the passenger aircraft, measured in kilometers per second.
- Travelling time, measured in seconds.
If we know that
and
, then the travelling time is:




The passenger aircraft would take 10.542 years to reach the Sun from the Earth.
The distance between the Earth and the galactic center is approximately equal to
. If the passenger travels at constant speed and if we know that
and
, then the travelling time is:




The passenger aircraft would take
years to reach the gallactic center.
D timber.
the interior of brazil is a heavily deforested rain forest which is the biggest rain forest in the world. the timber laws are also more loose allowing more people to use the trees for commercial use.
