Chapter 22, Problem 38GP

To determine

The distance

Answer to Problem 38GP

The answer is $3m$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

Time, $t={10}^{-8}s$

Factor, $c=3.00\times {10}^{8}m/s$

Formula used:

Theory of distance-time: $d=ct$

Where,

  $t$ is time

  $d$ is distance

  $c$ is a factor

Calculation:

Substitute the given values in formula, $d=ct$

  $d=\left(3.00\times {10}^{8}m/s\right)\times \left({10}^{-8}s\right)=3m$

Conclusion: The distance is $3m$ .
