Sagot :

The time taken by the jet to reach the earth form sun is 3 months

The correct option is option A)

What is speed?

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance.

We are given that

Light travels at the speed of 3,00,000 km per second. Light from the sun reaches us in 8 minutes

We first find the distance between sun and earth

to do that we multiply speed of light and time taken by light to reach earth

D = 300000*8

D= 2400000km

Now we are given the speed of the jet which is 1000km/hr

We have to find the time taken by the jet to reach the earth

To do that we divide the distance by speed we get

t = 2400000/1000

t =2400 hr.

3 months

The time taken by the jet to reach the earth form sun is 3 months

The correct option is option A)
