A laser beam of light csn be bouncedoff the Moon (from a special mirror left there by astronauts). The light travels there and back in 2.6 seconds. What is the distance to the Moon?
speed of light is about 3*10^8 meters/seconds
so
distance = 3*10^8 * (2.6/2) meters

A man walks 2 km in 2 min toward east 1 km in 1 min toward west and 1 km in 1 min toward east calculate the average velocity of the man
To find the distance to the Moon based on the given information, we need to divide the total time it takes for the light to travel there and back (2.6 seconds) by the speed of light. The speed of light is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, so the formula to find the distance is:
Distance = Speed × Time
Distance = 299,792 km/s × 2.6 s
Calculating this gives us:
Distance = 779,509.2 km
Therefore, the distance to the Moon is approximately 779,509.2 kilometers.
