Radio signals travel at a rate of 3 × 10^8 meters per second. how many seconds would it take for a radio signal to travel from a satellite to the surface of the earth if the satellite is orbiting at a height of 3.6 × 10*7 meters?

a.) 8.3 seconds
b.) 1.2 × 10^–1 seconds
c.) 1.08 × 10^16 seconds
d.) 10.8 × 10^15 seconds

 In this problem we are given with the speed of the signal and the distance travelled and is asked to determine the time of travel. IN this case, the expression that can be applied is 
time = distance / speed 

= (3.6 × 10⁷ m) / (3 × 10⁸ m/s) 

= (3.6 / 3) × 10⁷⁻⁸ s 

= 1.2 × 10⁻¹ s 

t= 0.12 s

Iread this book last year so take this with a grain of salt.gene jumps from the tree to compete with finny due to the fact that gene is always trying to do better than finny. he is put under the grasp of peer pressure due to finny almost forcing him to do this. ever since he first jumped finny kept pressuring him to jump since he thought gene enjoyed jumping.rather than uses this answer you should probably just reread chapters 3-4
