Ad for the distance from the sun tothe earth is 1.5 x 10"m. how long does it take for light from ths sun to reach the eath? give your answer n seconds

About 8.3 minutes

Explanation:

Use the formula for velocity as the distance covered by the light divided the time it takes: " alt="velocity=\frac{distance}{time}" />" />

Use the information about the speed of light in vacuum:

and the information you are given regarding the distance between Sun and Earth:

to solve the first velocity equation for the unknown time "t":

we can convert second into minutes by dividing by 60: 500 s = 500/60 minutes = 8.3333... minutes

80cm/s.

24cm/s.
