In a second, light travels about 300,000 km., or 3x108 meters.
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.
Since a microsecond is a millionth of a second, just divide the distance light travels in one second, by a million.
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.
A meter is defined as the distance travelled by light in free space in 1/299,792,458th of a second.
1 light-second = 186,282 miles
One meter is the distance travelled by light in vacuum in 1/299 792 458 second.
The Distance traveled in miles in 1 light year. TL
The SI base unit for length is the meter (m). It is defined as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
A light-second is the distance that light travels in a second, i.e., 300,000 kilometers.
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.
Voyager 1 is the furthest and Voyager 2 is the second furthest
At 6.2 miles per second you would travel 22,320 miles in one 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
"1 Hz" means that 1 complete wave passes the place where you're sitting each second. So regardless of what kind of wave it is or what its speed may be, if its frequency is 1 Hz, then it takes 1 second to travel 1 wavelength.
A star would be smaller than 1AU, as 1AU is equivalent to the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. A planet would be smaller than 1 light-second, which is the distance light travels in one second.
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.
The ratio of distances traveled by a body in free fall starting from rest in the first and third seconds is 1:9. This is because the body's distance traveled in each second increases in proportion to the square of the time elapsed.
