Suppose a radio signal (light) travels from Earth and through space at a speed of 3 × 108/ (this is the speed of light in vacuum). How far (in meters) into space did the signal travel during the first 10 minutes?

Answer:

18*10^10 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

V= d/t 10 mins = 600 seconds

3*10^8 = d/600s

(3*10^8)*(6*10^2) = d

d = 18*10^10 m
