Question

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, has a diameter of about 100,000 light years. How many years would it take a spacecraft to cross the galaxy if it could travel at 99% the speed of light?

Answer 1

Answer:

It takes to a spacecraft 100,837.13 years to cross the galaxy if could travels at 99% the speed of light.

Explanation:

d= 9.461 *10²⁰m

V= 297 *10⁶ m/s

t= d/V

t= 3.18 * 10¹² seconds = 100837.13 years
