Question

Radio signals travel at a rate of 3x10^8 meters per second.how many seconds would it take for a radio signal to travel from a satellite to the surface of earth if the satellite is orbiting at a height of 3.6x10^7 meters?

A. 8.3 seconds
B. 1.2x10^-1 seconds
C. 1.08x10^16 seconds
D. 10.8x10^15 seconds------


Not sure if im correct can someone check my answer?

Answer 1

No, that's how far it will travel in 3.6x10^7 seconds
distance = speed * time

You want the time, so divide distance by speed
3.6x10^7 / 3x10^8 = 1.2x10^-1

Note also that if you had been correct with D, that is not scientific notation, since the number must be less than 10. C and D are the sama value, but only C is scientific notation.
