Given that average speed is distance traveled divided by time, determine the values of m and n when the time it takes a beam of light to get from the sun to the earth (in s) is written in scientific notation. note: the speed of light is approximately 3.0×108m/s.

The distance  of earth from sun is 150 million km

We know that one million = 10^6 and 1 km= 10^3 m

Hence 150 million km = 150× 10^6 ×10^3 metre=150×10^9 m

                                                                                  =1.5×10^11 m

The speed of light in vacuum is  2.999... m/s which can be approximately close to  3.0 ×10^8 m/s

We are asked to calculate the time taken by the light beam to reach from sun to earth.

we know that average velocity

                                                       ⇒

Here distance=1.5×10^11 m and v=c= 3.0×10^8 m/s

                            hence time

                                                           =0.5×10^3 s

                                                            =5.0×10^2 s

 A correct scientific notation  is written as m×10^n   [Here m is the magnitude and n is power of 10]                                                      

Hence the value of m =5 and value of n =2

colorectal cancer may also develop from areas of abnormal cells in the lining of the colon or rectum. this area of abnormal cells is called dysplasia and is more commonly seen in people with certain inflammatory diseases of the bowel such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
