To determine the distance of the light that has traveled given the time it takes to travel that distance, we need a relation that would relate time with distance. In any case, it would be the speed of the motion or specifically the speed of light that is travelling which is given as 3x10^8 meters per second. So, we simply multiply the time to the speed. Before doing so, we need to remember that the units should be homogeneous. We do as follows:
distance = 3x10^8 m/s ( 8.3 min ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) = 1.494x10^11 m
Since we are asked for the distance to be in kilometers, we convert
distance = 1.494x10^11 m ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 149400000 km
B is correct. Ever wondered why ice floats in water?
Answer:
0.25 m
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using the lens equation:
where
f is the focal length
p is the distance of the object from the lens
q is the distance of the image from the lens
In this problem, we have
f = +20 cm=+0.20 m (the focal length is positive for a converging lens)
q = +1.0 m (the image distance is positive for a real image)
Solving the equation for p, we find
Answer:
Less than a quarter of Earth's surfaces are dry, ice free lands
