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 the earth if the satellite is orbiting at a height of 9.6x10^6 meters?

Answer 1

The time it would take for a radio signal to travel from a satellite to the surface of the earth is 3.2 seconds. This can be calculated by dividing the distance (9.6x10^6 meters) by the rate (3x10^8 meters per second):

9.6x10^6 meters / 3x10^8 meters per second = 0.032 seconds = 3.2 seconds

Answer 2

Did the bot just make the absurd statement
that 0.032 seconds = 3.2 seconds ???

Of course the correct answer is .032 seconds
