Answer:
d
=
1.49
×
10
11
m
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
=
v
t
We are given velocity and time, and so can solve for distance, but if we plug in the values given;
d
=
(
3.00
×
10
8
m/s
)
(
8.3
minutes
)
We can see that the units do not match up. Since seconds are the SI unit for time, we will need to convert 8.3 minutes to seconds.
t
=
(
8.3
minutes
)
(
60
seconds/minute
)
=
(
498
s
)
Now our units work out and we can solve for distance.
d
=
(
3.00
×
10
8
m/s
)
(
498
s
)
d
=
1.49
×
10
11
m
Thus the time for light to reach from sun to earth is exactly 8.3 min
