Question

Definition Definition Rate at which light travels, measured in a vacuum. The speed of light is a universal physical constant used in many areas of physics, most commonly denoted by the letter c . The value of the speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s, but for most of the calculations, the value of the speed of light is approximated as c = 3 x 10 8 m/s.

A communications satellite is in a circular orbit about the Earth at an altitude of 3.56 104 km. How many seconds does it take a signal from the satellite to reach a television receiving station? (Radio signals travel at the speed of light, 3.00 108 m/s.)
The speed of light is exactly e = 299792458 m - s1. (Also written 299, 792, 458 m - s-1 or 2.99792458 × 10°m - s1. This is exact because it is the definition of the metre.) It takes light 8.3 minutes to get from the sun to the earth. Assuming that the earth's orbit is exactly circular (an approximation) and that its speed is constant, and using the data in this question, calculate the speed of the earth in its orbit around the sun in km · hr. Practise writing your conversions clearly using the 'multiply by 1' technique. Speed of the earth =_ km per hour. Write your answer in standard (not scientific) notation, i.e. without using exponents, and without using commas. However, remember to use the correct number of significant figures. (Hint: which is the least precise of the given data?) Do not include units.
