The formula for the velocity of an object is , where v is the velocity of the object, d is the distance traveled, and t is the time elapsed while that distance is traveled.

Question

v=d/t

distance = speed times time
so
time in seconds = distance in meters / speed in meters/second

we need to know:

the speed of light (about 3*10^8 meters/s)

the distance from earth to sun (about
1.5*10^11 meters

Solve for the variable you are looking for. Show your work.

Answer 1

so

t = 1.5*10^11 / 3*10^8

= .5 * 10^3 or 500 seconds

500 seconds / 60 seconds/min
= 8 1/3 minutes for a photon from the sun to get here
