Answer 1

O.118 seconds will be taken for a radio signal to travel from a satellite to the surface of earth.

Explanation:

We are given Speed = 3.00 · 10^8 meters per second.

And Distance = 3.54.10^7 metwers

We need to find time.

We know that,

Distance = Speed * Time

3.54.10^7 = 3.00 · 10^8 * Time

Time = 3.54.10^7 / 3.00 · 10^8

Time = 1.18 X 10^7-8

Time = 1.18 x 10^-1

Time = 0.118 seconds.

So, O.118 seconds will be taken for a radio signal to travel from a satellite to the surface of earth.
