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?
Nothing we know of travels faster than 1c. The speed of light as fast as it will go.
Does an electron have the same speed as a proton?
Both electrons and protons can travel at different speeds. However, since a proton has about 1800 more mass than an electron, the same voltage will make an electron move faster than a proton.Both electrons and protons can travel at different speeds.

Do protons move at very fast speeds around the outside of the nucleus of an atom?
A proton vibrates at a velocity of around 30,000m/s or about 10% the speed of light. Since a proton has mass, to increase the velocity of the proton to the speed of light is theoretically impossible. It can however get pretty close, as is the case at CERN.
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?
From energy conservation set the initial electric potential energy = to the electrical potential energy at an arbitrary separation (as they fly apart) + the kinetic energy of each particle. Next write alpha velocity in terms of proton velocity by requiring momentum conservation (total momentum is always zero because they started from rest). Next solve for proton velocity. By inspection see that the max will occur when the arbitrary separation distance ,used above, is infinite. This should give you an equation for max proton velocity in terms of proton mass & charge & initial separation & Coulomb constant. PS: If the proton speed is close to the speed of light you would have to solve the problem relativistically,to get a correct answer, but should still be doable using conservation of energy & momentum.
If proton and an electron have the same speed which has the longer de Broglie wavelength?
It is electron since wavelength = h/(mv), and since proton's mass > electron's mass, electron's wavelength is longer.

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.
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 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?

Why does radiant heat travel so quikly?
Travels at the speed of light.
Does sound only travel at one speed?
No, it depends on the medium in which it travels.
