Question

The speed of light is approximately 299,800,000 m/s. How many hectometers will light travel in

Answer 1

Answer:

To start with, we have to define the value of a hectometer. The question says that

a meter = 0.01 hectometer. This means that

a hectometer = 100 meter.

If the speed of light is 299,800,000 m/s, then converting to hectometer, we have the speed of light to be 2,998,000 hm/s

Going further, we are going to convert seconds to month.

1 minute = 60s

1hr = 60 min = 60 * 60 s = 3,600s

1 day = 24hrs = 3,600s * 24 = 86,400s

1 month = 31 days = 86,400 * 31 = 2,678,400s

this gotten value of  2,678,400 seconds is then multiplied by the hm/s we have earlier

2,998,000 * 2,678,400 = 8,029,843,200,00 hm/m or in standard form as

8 x$10^{12}$ hm/m
