If you drive your car at a constant speed of 130 km/sec (imagine its possible)

How long would it take to drive around Earth's equator? (Hint: Use Earth's circumference of about 40000 km.) in light-days. Please show how you got to the answer. Thank you

  1. I DONT KNOW

    B UT I WAS ON A BUS ONCE

    I ACCEDINTELY SAT ON SOMEONES HAND

    I SHARTED

    SOME ONE SAID EXCUSE ME AND

    I WAS SO EMBARESSED

    HE LOOKED MAD

    BUT

    THE BUS WAS GOING VERY SLOW

    IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET HOME

    IT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER

    I WOULD NOT LIKE TO DRIVE AROUND THE WORLD IN A BUS


  2. about 4 months

  3. 130 km/sec? That's some car---you'd have a hard time keeping it in the solar system.

    40000 km / (130 km/s) = 307.7 seconds or just over 5 minutes.  That's way faster than orbital speed.

  4. approx. half a year.

  5. Speed = distance / time

  6. It would take 450 hours if you drove 55 to save gas.

    This would be 3 weeks.

  7. considering  your asking me to calculate the speed of light in an atmoshire which is also effected by gravity, I'm going to go take an asprin, and make the assumtion, that you would have got their before you left. but thanks for the 2 points.

    And btw, that's some fast car.

  8. 3 months I reckon
