Alight-year is the distance light travels in one year (at speed = 2.998 × 108 m/s). (a) how many meters are there in 11.0 light-years? m (b) an astronomical unit (au) is the average distance from the sun to earth, 1.50 × 108 km. how many au are there in 11.0 light-years? au (c) what is the speed of light in au/h? au/h

The answers are as follows:

(a) how many meters are there in 11.0 light-years?

11.0 light years ( 365 days / 1 year ) ( 24 h / 1 day ) ( 60 min / 1 h ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) ( 2.998x10^8 m/s ) = 1.04x10^17 m

(b) an astronomical unit (au) is the average distance from the sun to earth, 1.50 × 108 km. how many au are there in 11.0 light-years?

1.04x10^17 m ( 1 au / 1.50 × 10^8 km ) ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 693329.472 au

(c) what is the speed of light in au/h? au/h

2.998 × 10^8 m/s ( 1 au / 1.50 × 10^8 km ) ( 1 km / 1000 m) ( 3600 s / 1 h ) = 7.1952 au/h
