Light travels extremely rapidly (c = 3.00×108 ). Suppose you had to travel 40 miles to work every day. If you traveled at the speed of light for the entire trip, how long would it take you to get to work (in seconds)? [1 mile = 1.61 ]

Question

anonymous · Answer

time=distance/velocity
time=(40 miles)*(1.61 km/mile)/[(3.0 * 10^8 m/s)*(1 km/1000 m)]
