A radar sends a signal to an aeroplane at a distance of 45 km away with a speed of 3 x 108 m/s. After how long is the signal received back from the aeroplane?


We know that,

straight t space equals fraction numerator 2 d over denominator v end fraction
Here comma space straight d space equals space 45 space km space equals space 45 space cross times 1000 space comma

straight v equals 3 space cross times 10 to the power of 8 space straight m divided by straight s

Therefore comma space
straight t space equals space fraction numerator 2 space cross times 45 space cross times 1000 over denominator 3 space cross times 10 to the power of 8 end fraction space

space space equals space 90 over 3 space cross times 10 space to the power of negative 5 end exponent italic space

italic space italic space italic equals italic space italic 3 italic space cross times 10 to the power of italic minus italic 4 end exponent space s e c
