(9.45*10^15)/(3.15*10^7) = (9.45/3.15)*10^(15-7) = 3*10^8

<u>ANSWER:  </u>

The speed of light is 3 \times 10^{8} m/s.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, Light travels 9.45 \times 10^{15} meters a year.  

And there are about 3.15 \times 10^{7} seconds a year.  

We need to find how far does light travel per second.

We know that, for anything, the distance, speed and time relation is given by

Distance traveled = travelling speed x time taken ----- (1)

Here, in our problem distance traveled = 9.45 \times 10^{15} meters a year.  

Time taken = 3.15 \times 10^{7} seconds.

Now, substitute the above values in (1)

9.45 \times 10^{15}=$ speed $\times 3.15 \times 10^{7}$

Speed = $\frac{9.45 \times 10^{15}}{3.15 \times 10^{7}}$

Speed = $3 \times 10^{15-7}$

Speed = 3 \times 10^{8} m/s.

Hence, the speed of light is 3 \times 10^{8} m/s.

Olin [163]

Answer:

  15

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find n such that ...

  n×(2/3 mi) = 10 mi

Divide by 2/3 mi:

  n = (10 mi)/(2/3 mi) = 10·3/2 = 15

You would have to bike the path 15 times to bike 10 miles.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

  6/(49π) ≈ 0.03898 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

  V = πr²h . . . . formula for the volume of a cylinder

  dV/dt = πr²·dh/dt . . . . differentiate to find rate of change

Solving for dh/dt and filling in the numbers, we have ...

  dh/dt = (dV/dt)/(πr²) = (6 m³/min)/(π(7 m)²) = 6/(49π) m/min

  dh/dt ≈ 0.03898 m/min
