How many meters can you travel in 5 minutes running at a speed of 3 miles per second?
Wow, 3 miles per second is running fast. At 1609.34 meters per mile, this converts to 4828.02 meters per second. Since 5 minutes is 300 seconds,this means you would run 1448406 meters in that time.
How many meters will the airplane travel in 2 minutes at 40 meters per second?
60 - seconds in a minute. X 40 - meters per second. ----------------------------------- 2400 - meters per minute X 2 - minutes ---------------------------------- 4800 meters in 2 minutes.
What is your speed in meters per second if you travel 203 kilometers in four hours and 48 minutes?
distance = rate * time rate = distance / time 1 kilometer = 1000 meters 4 hours and 48 minutes = 288 minutes * 60 seconds/minute = 17280 seconds 203 km * 1000 meters/km / 17280 seconds ~= 11.75 meters per second
How far would you travel if you run for 10 minutes at 2 meters per second?
If you could sustain that speed, 1.2 kilometres.
How many miles per hour is running 100 meters in 9.7 sec?
To do this you need to know:60 second in a minute60 minutes in an hour1609.344 meters in one mileNow first work out how far one would travel running at that speed in one minute, by finding how far you would have traveled in one second-100/9.7 = 10.30927835051546 meters /secondThen multiply by 60 to get distance traveled in one minute =10.30927835051546 * 60 = 618.5567010309278 meters / minute.Now multiply by 60 again to get the distance traveled in an hour618.5567010309278*60=37113.40206185567 meters / hourOK we now know that we would be running at a speed of 37113.40206185567 meters an hour. BUT we want the answer in miles an hour, so we have to divide this by the number of meters in a mile:37113.40206185567/1609.344=23.06 miles per hour.Compare this with the related answer for this question where the distance run was in Yards (which are shorter than meters - so you would be running slower)
