Question

Once upon a time a man in Medina, Saudi Arabia was thrown from the ground at the speed of light 999,000,000,000,000 c To Washington DC, how long did it take him to arrive in Washington DC? and was he still alive when he landed on the ground?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Time taken to travel the distance between Medina Saudi Arabia to Washington DC is equal to 10.37 Nano seconds

Explanation:

Distance between Medina Saudi Arabia to Washington DC $= 10,360$ km

Speed with which this man has been thrown $= 999,000,000,000,000$ m/s

Time taken to travel the distance between Medina Saudi Arabia to Washington DC is equal to distance divided by velocity

Substituting the given values in the equation, we get -

$t = \frac{10360*10^3}{999,000,000,000,000}$

$t = 1.037 * 10^{-8}\\t = 10.37 * 10^{-9}\\t = 10.37$Nano seconds
