Physics: 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 3.0×108 m/s. Enter m and n, separated by commas.

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of light C=3.0×10^8 m/s.

Generally the equation for Average Speed is mathematically given by

$V_{avg}=\frac{d}{t}$

Where

d=Distance between the Earth and the sun

d=1.5*10^11m

Therefore

$t=\frac{d}{V_{avg}}$

$t=\frac{1.5*10^11m}{3.0×10^8 m/s.}$

t=5*10^2s

Since m and n is given in the form of

m*10^n

Therefore

m=5 & n=2
