The distance traveled by light in a year is equal to 946 tim

The distance traveled by light in a year is equal to 9.46 times 10^12 km. Make light years-feet conversion table for light-year values from 1 to 5, with 0.1 increments. Since the length of conversion might exceed the presentable limit, formal your results to 2 decimal places by using scientific notation. Use the disp function in MATIAB to display the table title and column headers; use the fprintf function to represent the conversion data.

Solution

% matlab code light year to feet conversion table

disp(\"Light year\\tFeet\ \");
light_year = 1;
while light_year <= 5
feet = light_year*9.46*(10^12)*3280.84;
fprintf(\"%0.2f\\t\\t%0.2f\ \",light_year,feet);
light_year = light_year + 0.1;
end
