Question

please help with all parts, show work and please at the end list the answers to all parts. 

**Problem 31.15**

**Part A**

How long does it take light to reach us from the Sun, \(1.50 \times 10^8 \, \text{km}\) away?

**Answer:**

\( t = \, \boxed{} \, \text{min} \)

*Explanation:*

This question asks you to calculate the time it takes for light to travel from the Sun to the Earth. Given the distance is \(1.50 \times 10^8\) kilometers, you can use the speed of light in space, which is approximately \(3.00 \times 10^5\) kilometers per second, to find the time in minutes. There is no graph or diagram present in this problem.
