Answer» SOLUTION :Time = 5 minute `= 5 xx 60S = 300s ` SPEED `= ("Distance")/("Time") ` `therefore` distance = speed `xx` time `= 3 xx 10 ^(8) xx 300` `= 900 xx 10 &(8)` `= 9 xx 100 xx 10 ^(8)` `= 9 xx 10 ^(10),` The distance of the spaceship from the ground is `9 xx 10 ^(10) m (or 9 xx 10 ^(7) km).` |
