How many miles does light travel in 1 microsecond in a vacuum the speed of light in a vacuum is 186000 miles per second?
Since a microsecond is a millionth of a second, just divide the distance light travels in one second, by a million.
How long is one m - one meter?
The meter is the length of the path traveled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second.
A train travels at 100 mph for 160 miles.How much time does this take?
Answer: 1 3/5 hours or 1 hour and 36 minutes Explanation: Distance traveled = Speed * time or solved for time is time = distance traveled / speed Plug in known values for speed and distance traveled and you will get the time it took.
Why is a meter a meter long?
A meter is defined as the distance travelled by light in free space in 1/299,792,458th of a second.
1 light-second in miles?
1 light-second = 186,282 miles
Is one meter the distance traveled by a ray of light in vacuum?
One meter is the distance travelled by light in vacuum in 1/299 792 458 second.
What is 5865696000000?
The Distance traveled in miles in 1 light year. TL
How do you figure out light seconds?
A light-second is the distance that light travels in a second, i.e., 300,000 kilometers.
Which man made probe has traveled the 2nd furthest distance?
Voyager 1 is the furthest and Voyager 2 is the second furthest
What unit covers the least distance?
At 0.000000000000000000000000000000000016 m, (1.6x 10-35 m), Planck length is the smallest distance unit in physics. At this scale, it is thought that gravity and space-time cease to exist and quantum effects dominate.
If you are Traveling at 6.2 miles per second what is the distance traveled in 1 hour?
At 6.2 miles per second you would travel 22,320 miles in one hour.
What distance is traveled in 15 mins at 72km per hour?
1 hour = 60 minutes 60/15 = 4, or 15 = 1/4 of 60 If distance traveled in 60 minutes = 72km, then in 1/4 that time, you traveled 1/4 of that distance 72/4 = 18km
What is the distance traveled by light in 1 minute called?
In vacuum, the distance would be roughly 11.2 million miles (rounded). It's never used as a unit of measure, so it doesn't have any particular name, and would be called simply "one light-minute". The distance from Earth to the Sun is about 81/3 of them.
What terms was standard meters defined in on 1983?
Originally, a metre was defined as 1/10,000,000th of the distance from the Earth's equator to the North pole. Since 1983 it has been defined as:the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458th of a second.
What is the distance traveled in 1 sec from earth?
not very far
What is the exact length of a Meter?
A meter is defined to be the distance travelled by light in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
What is the distance traveled in feet after 12 seconds at 87 miles per hour?
1 mile = 5,280 ft 87 miles in 1 hour = 87(5,280 ft) in 3,600 seconds = 459,360 ft. That is 127.6 ft in 1 second. So in 12 seconds the distance traveled will be 1,531.2 ft (12 x 127.6)
