Earth orbits around the Sun at an average speed of 30 km/s. How far does the Earth move in a year (3.16 x 107 s) as it revolves around the Sun? Express your answer in kilometers using the correct number of significant figures

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]d=v*t=(30\frac{km}{s})(3.16x10^{7})=9.48x10^{8}km[/tex]

Explanation:

Our knowable variables are velocity and time

[tex]v=30 \frac{km}{s}[/tex]

[tex]t=3.16x10^{7}s[/tex]

We know that [tex]v=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]

So, with the data that we have we can calculate distance

[tex]d=v*t=(30\frac{km}{s})(3.16x10^{7})=9.48x10^{8}km[/tex]
