Question

A car is traveling at 87.0 km/hr. How many meters will it travel in 37.0 seconds?

Answer 1

Speed of the car = $87.0 \frac{km}{hr}$

Given time = 37.0 s

Converting time from seconds to hours:

1 hr= 60 min; 1 min = 60 s

$37.0 s * \frac{1 min}{60s}*\frac{1 hr}{60min} = 0.0103 hr$

Calculating distance from speed and time:

$0.0103 hr * \frac{87.0 km}{1 hr} =0.894 km$

Converting distance from km to m:

$0.894 km * \frac{1000 m}{1 km} = 894 m$

So the distance traveled by the car in 37.0 s is 894 m.
