Question

Light travels from the sun to the earth, a distance of 144,000,000,000 meters, in 480 seconds. Calculate the approximate velocity of light in the direction it travels toward the earth.
A.) 69,120,000,000,000 m/s
B.) 69,120,000,000 m/s
C.) 300,000,000 m/s
D.) 300 m/s

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C.) 300,000,000 m/s

Explanation:

Light travels at a constant rate of 300,000,000 m/s. this can be determined by dividing the distance (144,000,000,000 meters) by the time (480 seconds). that's pretty fast. in fact, nothing can travel any faster than this. ever.
