The light from the Sun reaches Earth in 8.3 minutes. The speed of light is 3.00 x108 m/s. How far is Earth from the Sun?

Respuesta :

Answer:

d = 1.49 x 10^11m

Explanation:

Velocity is defined as the rate of travel, and can be found using the distance formula.

velocity= distance/time

Rearranging this formula we can solve for distance given velocity and time of travel.    d=vt

We are given velocity and time, and so can solve for distance, but if we plug in the values given

d=(3.00 x 10^8m/s)(498s)

Now our units work out and we can solve for distance.

d = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s)

d = 1.49 x 10^11 m

hope it helps mark me brainliest pls
