Answer:

The second car must go with a speed of 63.43 m/sec

Explanation:

Speed V of lead car = 62.3 m/sec

Distance S =   55 laps = 55 ×400 meters=22000 m

We know

S = V × t

So,

t= S/V

We put values of S and V here, we get

t=22000/62.3

t= 353.1 sec

So in 353.1 sec the second car which is one lap behind - must go a distance of 55+1=56 laps or 56×400 m = 22400 meters to catch the lead car before it finishes.

i-e for second car

Distance S= 22400m

Time t = 353.1 sec

V= ?

using again

S=Vt

we get

V= S/t

V= 22400/353.1= 63.43 m/sec

A mile is equivalent to 1.6 km. When you are driving at 60 miles per hour, what is your speed in meters per second?
yKpoI14uk [10]
FIrst, just write down what we know :)

1. 1 mile = 1.6klm
2. There are 3600 seconds in an hr (<em>60s x 60mins = 3600</em>).

Now to get to <em>meters per second</em> (m/s) we need to first work out <em>meters per </em><em>hr</em> (simply convert miles to klm and then multiply by 1000)<em>.</em>

60 x 1.6 = 96 klm/hr x 1000 = 96,000 meters/hr

Now we know this, we can simply divide the meters per hr by <em>how many seconds there are in 1hr</em> to get meters per second:

96000 / 3600 = 26.67m/s
