How far does a car traveling at 70 mph go in 5 seconds?
Distance = Rate * Time Conversion needed, so I will convert 5 seconds into hours. 5 s (1 hour/3600 s) = 0.001389 hours ---------------------------so, Distance = 70 mph * 0.001389 hours = 0.09723 miles ------------------------------lets put that into something meaningful, like feet 0.09723 miles (5280 ft/1 mi) = 513 feet -------------------------------is how far the car traveled in 5 seconds at 70 mph
A car is traveling 55 mph Write an algebraic expression to show how far the car will travel in a certain number of hours What will your constant and variable be?
55 /d-t=
How many feet are you traveling if you are going 43.5 MILES per hour in 1.1 seconds?
You are traveling 70.18 feet every 1.1 seconds at 43.5 mph
What is the speed of someone running 40 yards in 4 seconds?
Their speed is ten yards per second.Takamo added: There are several variables with in this question. We have to determine how fast a person can cover 40 yards. In this case, it's 4 seconds. To determine the actual speed, as in Miles Per Hour, (MPH) we have to use a known constant. Say, a car going 60 MPH. We all know that a car going 60 MPH is traveling at one mile per minute. There are 60 seconds in a minute, and 5280 feet in a mile, so by dividing the 5280 feetby 60 seconds, we find that the car is traveling at a velocity of 88 FPS(feet per second).A human can run, in this case, 40 yards in 4 seconds. There is 120 feet in 40 yards, so the runner moves at a velocity of 30 FPS. To match the un-known, (the MPH of the runner) and compare it to a known MPH, (the car) we divide the FPS of the car by the FPS of the runner and we get 2.6. This is the variable between them, in that the same distance, the car is traveling 2.6 times faster than the runner. Knowing the speed of the car, 60 MPH, and knowing now, how much faster its going than the runner, we simply divide the MPH of the car, 60MPH by 2.6 and we get the runner's land speed of of 23.07 MPH.
How long does it take a car to stop while traveling at a speed of 55 mph?
It depends on the condition of the brakes and the road.
