Question

1. The formula for the velocity of an object is d=v/t, where v is the object, d is the distance traveled, and t is the time the object takes to travel that distance.
A) Which variable should you isolate in order to determine how long it takes for light to travel from the Sun to Earth?

B) what values do you need to know to calculate how long it takes for light to travel from the Sun to Earth?


Solve for the variable that you identified in part a. Show all steps.

Answer 1

Answer:

you need to isolate t or time

you need to know distance between sun and earth and velocity of them in order to calculate how long it takes for light to travel from the Sun to Earth

Step-by-step explanation:

$t*(d)=(v/t)*t\\td= v\\\\\frac{td}{d} =v/d \\t=v/d$

to find time you multiply t to both sides then you cancel t from where velocity is and you get velocity by itself

now you mulipy d to both side to get v over d and time by itself
