-A particle is observed moving at $9.39 \times 10 ^ { - 5 }$ meters per second. Find the distance the particle would travel in $5.22 \times 10 ^ { - 7 }$ sec seconds.
A) $4.90 \times 10 ^ { - 12 } \text { meters }$
B) $4.90 \times 10 ^ { - 10 } \text { meters }$
C) $4.90 \times 10 ^ { - 11 } \text { meters }$
D) $0.49 \times 10 ^ { - 11 } \text { meters }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the distance, multiply the speed by the time: $9.39 \times 10^{-5} \times 5.22 \times 10^{-7} = 4.90 \times 10^{-11}$ meters.
