Right peter, I meant divide. Thanks for that. In the book where I get the problem from, it says 1 light year = 9.46 Pm (P being peta (15) and m being meters). I thought that was 10^15?

Homework Statement A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year. Find this distance in both miles and meters. Homework Equations Speed of light (c) = 3.00x10^8 m/s The Attempt at a Solution 10^15 m/s __________ 3.00x10^8 m/s That is to find meters...I think I can only find...

A homework problem I am doing requires me to "calibrate" an axis. I think you use hyperbolas, but I am not 100% sure. The slope is 5/3. I think you put the hyperbolas at each whole number, then use the equation: t^2 - x^2 = s^2 so would it be 4? I don't know what exactly constitutes...
