During an experiment a signal from a spaceship reached the ground station in five minutes. What was the distance of the spaceship from the ground station? The signal travels at the speed of light, that is, `3 xx 10^(8) m//s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Distance = speed `xx` time
`=3xx10^(8)xx5xx60=300xx10^(8)mxx3`
`=9xx10^(10)M.`
