V*t=S

V=3x10^8 m/s
S=7.5x10^6 m

t=S/V = 7.5x10^6 / 3x10^8 = 7500 000 / 300 000 000 = 0.025 s

0.12 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

just think - how long does it take you to travel for example 30 km, if you are going 60 km/h ?

you have to divide 30 by 60 and get 0.5 or 1/2. meaning it takes you (logically) 30 minutes or half an hour to do so.

it is the same principle for all these kinds of questions.

we only need to keep an eye on the dimension of what we are talking about. is it hours or seconds ? meters or kilometers ? and do in

we need here to focus on seconds and to calculate

3.6×10⁷ / 3×10⁸ = 3.6 / 3×10¹ = 1.2 / 10 = 0.12 seconds

or

1.2 \times  {10}^{ - 1}

seconds

Our satellite is at a distance (from Earth) of 9.6 * 10^6 meters. Since:

speed =  \frac{distance}{time}

Solving for time:

speed * time =  \frac{distance}{time} * time

The time's on the right cancel, so we are left with

speed * time = distance

We then divide both sides by speed:

\frac{speed * time}{speed} =  \frac{distance}{speed}

Now the speed's on the left cancel, and we are left with:

time = \frac{distance}{speed}

Now we plug in our numbers for speed and distance:

Answer: 440 grams for 1.54 is the better value
Explanation:
Take the price and divide by the number of grams
1.54 / 440 =0.0035 per gram
1.26 / 340 =0.003705882 per gram
0.0035 per gram < 0.003705882 per gram

F=ma

where F=force

m=mass

a=acceleration

Here,

F=4300

a=3.3m/s2

m=F/a

    =4300/3.3

    =1303.03kg
