Question

Once upon a time a man in Medina, Saudi Arabia was thrown from the ground at the speed of light 999,000,000,000,000 c To Washington DC, how long did it take him to arrive in Washington DC? and was he still alive when he landed on the ground?​

Answer 1

Time taken to travel the distance between Medina Saudi Arabia to Washington DC is equal to 10.37 Nano seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between Medina Saudi Arabia to Washington DC
`= 10,360` km

Speed with which this man has been thrown
`= 999,000,000,000,000` m/s

Time taken to travel the distance between Medina Saudi Arabia to Washington DC is equal to distance divided by velocity

Substituting the given values in the equation, we get -

`t = (10360*10^3)/(999,000,000,000,000)`

`t = 1.037 * 10^(-8)\\t = 10.37 * 10^(-9)\\t = 10.37`Nano seconds
