Question

light travels approximately 982,080,000 ft/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. A light year is the distance light travels in one year.

Answer 1

The distance traveled in 1 year is:
`3.143*10^(16)ft`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

`s = 982,080,000 ft/s` --- speed

`t = 32,000,000 s` --- time

Required

The distance traveled

This is calculated as:

`Speed = (Distance)/(Time)`

So, we have:

`Distance = Speed * Time`

This gives:

`Distance = 982,080,000 ft/s * 32,000,000 s`

`Distance = 982,080,000 * 32,000,000ft`

`Distance = 3.143*10^(16)ft` -- approximated
