Solve the all parts of given question:

Question: Lunar astronauts placed a reflector on the moon's surface, off which a laser beam is periodically reflected. The distance to the moon is calculated from the round-trip time.

Part A: To what accuracy in meters can the distance to the moon be determined; if this time can be measured to 0.100 ns?

Part B: What percent accuracy is this, given the average distance to the moon is 3.84 x 10⁸ m?
