One second of latitude equals 100.39 feet . . .
here is the proof:
one degree = 60 Nautical Miles or 69 Statute miles; (conversion factor 69/60 = 1.15)
one minute minute = 1 Nautical Mile
one second = 1 Nautical Mile / by 60 seconds = 0.01666 of a Nautical Mile
use conversion factor of 1.15 x 0.01666 = 0.019159 x a Statute Mile -->
equals (5420 ft X 0.019159) = 100.39 feet per second of latitude

How much time is required for a bicycle to travel a distance of 100 meters at an average speed of 2 meters per second?
Time = Distance/Speed = 100/2 = 50 seconds.Time = Distance/Speed = 100/2 = 50 seconds.Time = Distance/Speed = 100/2 = 50 seconds.Time = Distance/Speed = 100/2 = 50 seconds.

How much distance on earth's surface does one second of latitude equal?
The circumference of the earth is very nearly equal to 40,000 km. In the meridional direction ie north-south it is almost exact, so the distance from equator to pole (north or south) is 10,000 km. In fact that is the definition that was adopted for the meter originally, though now we have a standard meter which is very slightly different to 1/10000 of the equator to pole distance. For your purpose take it as 10,000 km. Then in terms of latitude, this is divided into 90 degrees each degree having 60 minutes, each minute having 60 seconds. So the total number of seconds of latitude is 90 x 60 x60 = 324,000. so 1 second of latitude will be 10,000/324,000 km, or 10/324 km. Putting this into meters we get 10,000/324 meters, which comes to 30.86 meters. So 1 second of latitude = 30.86 meters, or in feet = 101.2 ft.

A boy exerts an average force of 65N when he lifts a box 1.2 meters How much work does he do?
Work is equal to force x distance. If the force is specified in Newtons, and the distance in meters, then the work is in Joules.Work is equal to force x distance.
