An object is moving with the speed of light around the Earth. How much time will it take to complete one round trip along the equator on the surface of earth if radius of earth is 6400km

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.14 seconds

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is approximately 3.0*10^8. The distance that would be covered by the object would be equivalent to the circumference of the cross-section of the earth on the equator.

Circumference = 2[tex]\pi[/tex]*6400000 =4.02*10^7

Time = distance/speed = 4.2*10^7 / 3.0*10^8 =0.14s
