  1. Answer:

    9 x 10^10 m (^ = rise to)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Speed = 3 x 10^8 m/s

    Time taken = 5 minutes = 300 seconds

    Speed = Distance/Time taken

    Distance = Speed x Time taken

    Distance = 3 x 10^8 x 300

    Distance = 900 x 10^8

    Distance = 9 x 10^10

    Therefore, Distance is equal to 9 x 10^10 m.

  2. Answer:

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Time taken=5min=5×60s=300sec

    speed of signal u =3×10^8 m/s

    Distance=??

    we know that

    speed= Distance/time

    Distance= Speed×Time

    putting the value

    Distance= 3×10^8 × 300

    Distance = 9×10^10m
