Well, the sun is actually 91 million miles away.
But for the purposes of your equation:
Distance = speed x time.
8.3 minutes is 300 seconds.
The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second.
so your equation now looks like this:
Distance = 186,000 x 300.
Therefore distance= 55800000miles
Same calculation, but more accurate:Well, the sun is actually 93.5 million miles away, on average.
But for the purpose of your education:
Distance = speed x time.
8.3 minutes is 498 seconds.
The speed of light is 187,370 miles per second,
so your equation now looks like this:
Distance = 187,370 x 498.
Therefore distance = 93,300,000 miles.

149,400,000,000 metres
Calculation: 8.3 minutes x 60 is 498 seconds. 498 x 300,000,000 is 149,400,000,000 As it happens, the actual mean distance between the Sun and Earth is about 149,597,900,000 metres (92,955,800 miles) so the approximate values given in the question are pretty close to the real figures.
93,000,000 divided by 186,000 is 500 (seconds). Convert seconds to minutes by dividing by 60.
500 divided by 60 is 8.333 So light from the sun takes just over 8 minutes to reach the earth.
3 x 101 is 30 metres a second.
There are 60 seconds in a minute 8.3 x 60 = 498 seconds
498 x 30 = 14940
By this reasoning and the numbers given the sun is 14,940 metres or 14.94 kilometres from the earth.
[Obviously the sun is much further away than this therefore something is incorrect in the initial statement]
Light from the sun takes approximately 498 seconds (or 8.3 minutes) to reach Earth.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. In other words, it is velocity divided by time. As velocity (in SI) is expressed in metres per second, acceleration must be measured in 'metres per second per second'. In fact, this is the correct way of 'saying' the unit of measurement for acceleration, NOT 'metre per second squared'. The symbol for metres per second per second is 'm/s/s' which, of course, is exactly the same as m/s2 (where 2 is a superscript).
-- miles per hour north -- meters per second tangential
Acceleration means how fast the body's velocity changes - in symbols, dv/dt. Average acceleration during a certain time is equal to (change in velocity) / (time elapsed). Since you are dividing a velocity by a time, the standard unit for acceleration is (meters / second) / second, but this is normally written as meters / second squared.
(any unit of distance) divided by (any unit of time)2 is a unit of acceleration.The acceleration of gravity is usually expressed in meters/second2 or feet/second2 .
Difficult to know just what you have in mind. Motion implies velocity, which is measured in meters per second, or feet per second, or miles per hour.
The speed of an object falling from a great height is measured in meters per second per second until it reaches terminal velocity (maximum downward speed).
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity - how fast a velocity changes. Therefore, its units are naturally (meters/second) / second, usually written as meters/second2.Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity - how fast a velocity changes.

1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. 4.1 minutes is equal to 246 seconds. Velocity would equal 1000 meters divided by 246 seconds. So the answer is 4.065 meters per second West.
every second the velocity increases by 9.8m/s per second per second
Ther velocity when falling 1000 meters is v=sqroot(2x1000x9.8) = 140 meters/second.
It has been proven that the speed of light (about 3 x 108 meters per second) is the maximum speed any object can reach.
An acceleration is not a velocity - it is the rate of change of velocity. In SI units, the units of velocity are meters/second. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, per unit time - how fast the velocity changes. Therefore, its units are velocity / time. In SI units, this gives you (meters/second) / second, usually written as meters/second2.
Use the formula a = v2 / r, with v = velocity (speed, actually) in meters/second, r = radius in meters. The answer will be in meters per square second.
Yes. The first is a speed (or velocity), the second is a distance.
You throw a ball straight up with a velocity of 40 meters per second. What is the ball's velocity after 3 seconds?
Velocity(speed).
Meters per second.
