Why are you typing in such a strange way?
Is this want you mean?
A radio signal travels at 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second. How many seconds will it take for a radio signal to travel from a satellite to the surface of Earth if the satellite is orbiting at a height of 3.54 x 10^7 meters? Show your work.
time = distance/rate = 3.54 x 10^7/3.00 x 10^8 seconds
= 1.18 x 1/10
= .118 seconds
Thank you Reiny. Your explanation really helped me understand the question.
time = distance/speed
so, just plug in your numbers (whatever the heck they are -- can't read 'em)
thank you Reiny
