Question 592169: A supernova is the explosion of the star. The burning of a carbon at the star's center creates a shock wave that travels outward at about 30,000 km/s
Imagine that you are an astronomer.Your task is to write an equation that gives the distance traveled by the shock wave in t seconds. You need to complete the tables(7 tables) for the given values of t
TABLE: *pls. write your answer in time under the numbers*
----------------------------------------------
Time in t seconds| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
----------------------------------------------
Distance d(in km)| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ |
----------------------------------------------
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! ^_^ _(under score) in distance means blank

============
d = r*t
d = 30000t
t = 1, d = 30000
t = 2, d = 60000
etc
Just multiply them. I can't fit the numbers in those spaces.
