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.
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.
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?
Yes, one meter is defined as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum in precisely 1/299,792,458 seconds. This definition helps provide a precise and universal measurement for the meter.
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.
What terms was standard meters defined in on 1983?
In 1983, the standard meter was defined in terms of the speed of light. Specifically, the meter was defined as the length of the path traveled by light in a vacuum during a specific fraction of a second.
Which man made probe has traveled the 2nd furthest distance?
Voyager 1 is the furthest and Voyager 2 is the second furthest
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 is the distance traveled each second by a wave?
"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.
What is the ratio of Distance travelled by body falling freely starting from rest in the first second and third seconds?
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.
What is the distance traveled in 1 sec from earth?
not very far
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)
