Answer:
Velocity of light is ~3 x 10^5 km/sec. Time taken for light to reach the earth is ~ (1.496 x 10^8)/(3 x 10^5)sec = 1496/3 sec = 498.3sec = 8min 18.3 sec. 1.496X10*8 * .00257 = 384,472 km. Circumference of Earth = 6.28*6378=40,054 km. 384472/40054=9.6 = trips around earth's equator. 1.496 * 108 kilometers = 161,568 meters. D. 0.00000001496
Step-by-step explanation:
Required information The Foundational 15 [LO8-2, LO8-3, LO8-4, LO8-5, LO8-7, LO8-9, LO8-10]
The expression of the Earth 1.496 x 10^8 km in standard form is 149,600,000
Standard form is a simple way of expressing very large numbers into small sizes for easier calculation.
The given information is already in its standard form as 1.496 × 10⁸ km.
We can express it in its ordinary form by shifting the decimal place to the right side in terms of the power with which it is being raised.
Here:
1.496 × 10⁸ km = 149,600,000 km
