Time = distance ÷ speed
Your answer would be in seconds
You need to convert it after
Oh no I misread the question
How do you get the answer to that question
Substitute the distance and speed values in
So 1.5X10^8 / 3.3X10^-6
= 4.54545 how do I convert to mins and seconds
1.5x10^8 ÷ 3.3x10^-6 = 4.5x10^12
Then see how many minutes go in that, so divide by ||60||
I'm so confused rn
Yh, sorry I couldn't help much
It's just speed = d/t then divide the earth's distance by that speed
Make sure to work in si units
is it 303030.303?
(110^3)/3.310^-6 to get speed
You're off by 1000
speed of light according to question is 303030303
I did the distance divided by the time
Ans divided by the distance to get 303.03 recurring
1.5 x 10^8/(3.3 x 10^-6) *(1.5 x 10^8) right?
Speed of light is : 1x10^3/3.3x10^-6
Where you get 1X10^3
Kilometers to metre
You have to work in SI units
and should be -6 btw
Nvm I edited it
Now once you've gotten the speed
The distance between earth and the sun is 1.5x10^11 m (SI units)
So you do time = distance/ speed
Which is 1.5x10^11/303030303
To get 495 seconds
Divide by 60 to get mins
8.25 mins
Which is 8 + 1/4 of a min
so it should 8 mins 15 seconds
*25 sec
No
??
8.25 mins is 8 mins and 15 secs
Can’t you just do 1.5X10^8 x 3.3X10-6 which gets 495
You could but that would only apply to this question cos both quantities are given in km
I presented a general method which is applicable to all questions
Oh okay thank you
I over thought it so much
@slate socket you able to help me with a other question?
Yh
Yes
You agree with this right
Yh
And this right
No
Yh they cancel out
This is basically the same
And the only way to get 2/5
Is that 10/m needs to be 2/5
so rearranging gives us m is 25
