Question

If a bit is travelling through a copper wire at 2 x 10 8 meters per second, how far does it go in a millisecond?

Answer 1

`2*10^5`m

Step-by-step explanation:

1 second = 1000 millisecond, so if within 1 second a bit could travel a distance of
`2*10^8`m through a copper wire then within a millisecond (a thousandth of a second) it should be able to travel through a distance of

`(2*10^8)/(1000) = 2*10^5`m
