How long would it take a proton to travel 80 km if a proton travels at a speed of 3000000000 ms?

It would be the same amount of time it would take anything to travel 80 km at 3 x 10^9 m/s. There's only one catch; 3 x 10^9 m/s is just a teensy bit more than ten times the speed of light.
The mathematics that describe things travelling faster than light is... Well O.K., I confess I don't understand it. But I don't feel any pressing need to understand it because no evidence has ever been found of anything that does travel faster than light.
There's a special name reserved for them if they're ever found. It's "tachyon." Look it up on wikipedia if you want to know more.

Speed of a proton is 275c?
A speed of 275c implies that the proton is traveling at 275 times the speed of light. This speed is not possible according to the theory of relativity, which states that nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light or faster.
Does an electron have the same speed as a proton?
No, electrons and protons do not have the same speed. Electrons generally move faster due to their smaller mass compared to protons. Electrons in atoms can travel at high speeds close to the speed of light in certain circumstances.
If proton and an electron have the same speed which has the longer de Broglie wavelength?
The de Broglie wavelength is inversely proportional to the mass of the particle. Since a proton is much more massive than an electron, it will have a shorter de Broglie wavelength at the same speed.
If a beam of light is emitted from a light source that is moving backwards at the speed of light would light be emitted?
No, an object moving at the speed of light cannot emit light because the speed of light is constant in a vacuum and light cannot travel faster than itself. This concept is explained by Einstein's theory of relativity.
Proton and an alpha particle are released from rest when they are 0.225 apart. The alpha particle has four times the mass and two times the charge of a proton. What is the max speed of the proton?
Using conservation of energy, we can calculate the total initial potential energy and the final kinetic energy of the system. The potential energy at separation is given by the formula (k\left(\frac{q_iq_j}{r}\right) + k\left(\frac{4q_iq_j}{r}\right)), where (q_i) and (q_j) are the charges and (r) is the separation distance. Setting this equal to the final kinetic energy of the proton gives us the max speed.
Speed of a proton is 275c?
A speed of 275c implies that the proton is traveling at 275 times the speed of light. This speed is not possible according to the theory of relativity, which states that nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light or faster.
Can speed travel in what density?
It doesn't work that way. For a start, speed doesn't travel. Rather, an object travels at a certain speed.
What is the speed of a proton that travels 3.021012m in 2.02104s?
Divide the distance by the time. Answer will be in meters/second in this case.
What makes light travel?
It only travels in the speed of light
What travels at light speed besides engines?
Engines cannot travel at light speed. The only thing that can travel at this speed is the Photon, the particle of light.
How fast do Saturn's rings travel?
They travel through space at the same speed that Saturn travels.
What is speed does light travel?
Light travels at a speed of 186,000 miles per second, in a vacuum.
The total distance an object travels divided by the time of travel is?
The average speed of the object.

Travels at the speed of light.
Does sound only travel at one speed?
No, it depends on the medium in which it travels.
