Question

light travels approximately 982,080,000 ft/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. A light year is the distance light travels in one year.

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance traveled in 1 year is: $3.143*10^{16}ft$

Explanation:

Given

$s = 982,080,000 ft/s$ --- speed

$t = 32,000,000 s$ --- time

Required

The distance traveled

This is calculated as:

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

So, we have:

$Distance = Speed * Time$

This gives:

$Distance = 982,080,000 ft/s * 32,000,000 s$

$Distance = 982,080,000 * 32,000,000ft$

$Distance = 3.143*10^{16}ft$ -- approximated
