To some extent, that's going to depend on where you start from.
Since you're talking about the speed of light and the Sun is the only nearby
source of light, let's say that the trip starts at the Sun.
Pluto's orbit is very eccentric compared to the other planets. Sometimes it's
a lot closer to the sun than it is at other times.
Depending on how far Pluto happens to be from the Sun, it takes light from
the Sun between 4.1 hours and 6.8 hours to get to Pluto.
Earth's average distance from the sun = 1.496 x 1011 meters
Pluto's average distance from the sun = 5.910 x 1012 meters
! Minimum ! distance from Earth to Pluto occurs when they're lined up:
(5.910 x 1012) - (0.1496 x 1012) = 5.760 x 1012 meters
Speed of sound = 343 meters/sec
Time = (5.760 x 1012) / (3.43 x 102) = 1.6794 x 1010 seconds
= approx. 194,363 days = 532.5 years ! Minimum !
= about the time it takes Pluto to revolve in its orbit 2 and 1/7th times.
The distance to Pluto on average 5.7 billion kilometers or 38.5 AU.
the speed of sound is 340.29 m/s
so at the speed of sound it would take 4,652,894 hours to reach Pluto.
4652894/24 = 193,870 days (turning the number of hours into days)
365/193870 = 531 years (turning the number of days into years)
Pluto's orbit is about 36 billion kilometers long (about 22 billion miles), while its distance from the Sun varies between 4.4 and 7.4 billion kilometers from the Sun. Its orbital speed is only about 4.67 km/sec (about 10,440 mph) compared to 29.78 km/sec for Earth. At that speed, it takes Pluto about 248 Earth years to make one complete revolution around the Sun. Since its discovery in 1930, Pluto has only traveled a little over a third of its way around the Sun.
Like any other trip, that would depend on where you start, and what route you take.
Starting at the sun, and traveling in a straight line (since you're light, after all),
it would take between 4hours 10minutes and 6hours 48minutes, depending on
exactly which part of Pluto's orbit the planet is at.
(Pluto has a weird orbit ... one in which the sun is way off-center ... so
the distance changes significantly.)
If you started at the Earth, it wouldn't be that much different ... somewhere
between 81/3 minutes shorter to 81/3 minutes longer, depending on exactly
which part of the Earth's orbit WE'RE at.
Pluto's speed around the sun - also known as it's orbital velocity - is equal to 4.7 km/s. This is equal to 16,920 km/h, or 10,514 mi/h.
Depends entirely how much faster than the speed of light.
A subsonic aircraft doesn't produce a sonic boom because it is subsonic, and cannot produce enough speed to do so. A sonic boom is created when an aircraft becomes supersonic, accelerating past the speed of sound. Since it is traveling near the speed of sound at this time, the sound waves build up around it, finally traveling through the air as it is left behind by the aircraft.
Not necessarily. The distance a car travels is determined by its speed and the time it spends traveling. If a car is traveling at a slower speed but for a longer period of time, it may not cover as much distance as a car traveling at a faster speed but for a shorter period of time. So, the longest time does not always correspond to the greatest distance traveled.
No. In general, for the simplified case of constant speed, use the formula: distance = speed x time
(Its speed) x (time it spends traveling).
That, is what would be time traveling.
The speed of sound is only 768mph, so it'll take a pretty darn long time.
The speed of sound does not travel. In the event that an airplane's airspeed is below Mach-1, the speed of sound is faster than the speed of the airplane. On the occasion and at the moment when the true indicated airspeed of an airship or an airplane is in excess of Mach-1, the airplane is at that time traveling faster than the speed of sound.
cruising speed
... What is the speed of the ball? Distance = 17.5 m Time = 2.6 sec Speed (of sound) = 340 m/sec Speed (of ball) = ? Typically Speed = Distance/time (which means 17.5/2.6. But here we also have to calculate the speed of the sound of the ball traveling when the ball hits the pins till it reaches the ears of the bowler) Time (of sound) = Distance/Speed (of sound) = 17.5/340 = 0.0515 sec Time (of ball) = 2.6 - 0.0515 =2.5485 sec Speed (of ball) = Distance/Time (of ball) = 17.5/2.5484 = 6.87 m/sec
Velocity is a constant traveling speed. Acceleration is increasing traveling speed (variation of speed over time)

You multiply the speed at which you are traveling by the time spent traveling.

The answer is that u r travelling with an average speed for that time or a constant speed . it also means that u are travelling with a uniform velocity.
no idea, but due to time zones, he has longer than just a night ... or he has a time turner ... or a tardis ... =]
That would be Speed. Speed is the distance you are going divided by the time it takes. This will calculate the average speed you were traveling.
