How many nanoseconds does it take light to travel a distance of 3.80 km in vacuum? express your answer numerically in nanoseconds.

1.27 × 10⁴ ns

Explanation:

Given data

We can find the time (t) that it takes to the light to travel 3.80 km using the following expression.

v = d/t

t = d/v

t = (3.80 × 10³ m)/(3.00 × 10⁸ m/s)

t = 1.27 × 10⁻⁵ s

We know that 1 s = 10⁹ ns. Then,

1.27 × 10⁻⁵ s × (10⁹ ns/1s) = 1.27 × 10⁴ ns

answer: d. a cme increases the amount of energy in the solar wind

explanation:

coronal mass ejections, also called cmes, are large clouds of plasma and magnetic field that erupt from the sun. only when the cloud is aimed at earth will the cme hit earth and therefore cause impacts. high-speed solar wind streams come from areas on the sun known as coronal holes.
