Microwaves are electromagnetic waves used to transmit signals from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites to Earth. A microwave signal transmitted from a GPS satellite takes 0.068 s0.068\text{ s}0.068 s to reach a receiver on the Earth's surface. The speed of microwaves is 300 000 000 m/s300\,000\,000\text{ m/s}300000000 m/s.
Calculate the distance between the GPS satellite and the receiver.
Use the equation:
distance=speed×time\text{distance} = \text{speed} \times \text{time}distance=speed×time
