The speed of a spaceship is going warp 7.58. What is the velocity of the spaceship in cm/min. Assume 1.00 warp = 2.5 times the speed of light
Speed of light= 2.9979x10^8 m/s

Respuesta :

Answer : The velocity of the spaceship is, [tex]3408.6\times 10^{10}cm/min[/tex]

Solution :

As we are given that,

[tex]1.00\text{ wrap }=2.5\times \text{The speed of light}[/tex]

The speed of a spaceship = 7.58 wraps

So, [tex]7.58\text{ wrap }=7.58\times 2.5\times \text{The speed of light}[/tex]

The speed of light = [tex]2.9979\times 10^8m/s[/tex]

Now put the value of speed of light in above expression, we get

So, [tex]7.58\text{ wrap }=(7.58)\times (2.5)\times (2.9979\times 10^8m/s)=56.81\times 10^8m/s[/tex]

The velocity of the spaceship = [tex]56.81\times 10^8m/s[/tex]

Now we have to convert the velocity of the spaceship m/s to cm/min.

Conversion :

(1 m = 100 cm)

(1 min = 60 sec)

The velocity of the spaceship = [tex](56.81\times 10^8)\times 100\times 60cm/min=3408.6\times 10^{10}cm/min[/tex]

Therefore, the velocity of the spaceship is, [tex]3408.6\times 10^{10}cm/min[/tex]
