To calculate the distance traveled by a car at a constant speed of 45 mph in 5 seconds, we first convert the speed to feet per second. Since 1 mile is equal to 5280 feet and 1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds, we have 45 mph = 66 feet per second. Therefore, in 5 seconds, the car will travel 66 feet per second * 5 seconds = 330 feet.

45 mph = 45 miles in an hour = 0.75 miles in a minute = 0.0625 miles in 5 seconds = 0.1 km = 100m.
1 miles = 1760 yards 1 hour = 3600 s Distance = speed × time = 45 mph × 3 s = 45 miles/hours × 3 seconds = 45 × (1760 yards)/(3600 seconds) × 3 seconds = 45 × 1760/3600 × 3 yards = 66 yards.
45 mph = 45 miles/hour (45 miles/hour) (1hr/60 minutes) (1 minutes/60 seconds) (5 seconds) = 0.0625 miles in 5 seconds Note: If you write the fractions above with a horizontal slash instead of a diagonal slash, it is easier to see what cancels out to make this problem work the way it does.
45 mph (5280 feet/1 mile)(1 hour/3600 seconds) = 66 feet per second
Time = Distance/Speed = 1/45 hours = 60/45 minutes = 1.33... minutes or 1 minute 20 seconds
The speed of 45 km/h states that in every hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds the car travels 45 km. So in 6 seconds it travels 6/3600 = 1/600 this distance, that is: 45 x 1/600 = 45/600 = 3/40 = 0.075km = 75m.
