Question

jupiter is, on average, 778,000,000 km from the sun. if the speed of light is 300,000 km/s, how long in minutes does it take light from the sun to reach jupiter? * 1 point choose submit clear form

Explanation:

Step1: Use the time - distance - speed formula

We know that time $t=\frac{d}{v}$, where $d$ is distance and $v$ is speed. Here, $d = 778000000$ km and $v=300000$ km/s. So, $t=\frac{778000000}{300000}$ s.

Step2: Convert seconds to minutes

Since 1 minute = 60 seconds, we divide the time in seconds by 60. Let $T$ be the time in minutes. Then $T=\frac{778000000}{300000\times60}$.
$T=\frac{778000000}{18000000}\approx43.22$ minutes.

Answer:

Approximately 43.22 minutes
