How long does it take light to travel 2462 mi, the distance between LA and NY? Provide the answer in ms. (1 mi= 5280 ft, 1ft= 12
in., 1 in.= 2.54 cm)
Please go through this detail by detail because Chemistry is a really hard subject for me to understand. Thank You:)

The light takes 13,2073 ms to travel 2462 mi, the distance between LA and NY
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Regular straight motion is the motion of objects on a straight track that has a fixed speed
Formula used
S = distance = m
v = speed = m / s
t = time = seconds
Straight motion changes regularly is the straight motion of objects that have a fixed acceleration
Formula used
V = vo + at
Vt² = vo² + 2as
St = distance on t
vo = initial speed
vt = speed on t
a = acceleration
The distance that light travels can be considered using the principle of irregular straight motion because it has a constant speed
The speed of light itself is 3.10⁸ m / s
The distance between LA and NY = 2462 mi, so we convert the units to m
Because 1 mi = 5280 ft, 1ft = 12 in., 1 in. = 2.54 cm, then
2462 mi = 2462 mi x 5280 ft x 12 in x 0.0254 m
2462 mi = 3962204,928 m
We use the straight-line motion formula
S = v x t
t = S : v
t = 3962204,928 m : 3,108 m / s
t = 0.0132073 s
conversion to milisecon :
t = 0.0132073 s x 1000 ms
t = 13,2073 ms
