How long will it take to reach the Andromeda galaxy which is 2.5 million light years away from earth.
the speed of ight is 300,000,00 metres per second the speed of mr busseys car tops out at 225km/h
:
Find the no. of km to Andromeda:
2.5(10^6)*3(10^8)*(10^-3) = 7.5(10^11) km
:
Change the car speed to 2.25(10^2)
:
7.5%2810%5E11%29%2F2.25%2810%5E2%29 = 3.33%2810%5E9%29 hrs
