Question

Given that average speed is distance traveled divided by time, determine the values of m and n when the time it takes a beam of light to get from the Sun to the Earth (in s) is written in scientific notation. Note: the speed of light is approximately 3.0×108 m/s. Enter m and n, separated by commas.

    Answer:

    5,2

    Explanation:

    From the question we are told that:

    Speed of light C=3.0×10^8 m/s.

    Generally the equation for Average Speed is mathematically given by

    V_{avg}=\frac{d}{t}

    Where

    d=Distance between the Earth and the sun

    d=1.5*10^11m

    Therefore

    t=\frac{d}{V_{avg}}

    t=\frac{1.5*10^11m}{3.0×10^8 m/s.}

    t=5*10^2s

    Since m and n is given in the form of

    m*10^n

    Therefore

    m=5 & n=2

    5,2
