Distance traveled by the race horse=6 furlongs

Converting the distance from furlongs to rods: 40 rods =1 furlong

6 furlongs*\frac{40rods}{1furlong} =240rods

Converting the distance from rods to yards, feet and miles: 5.5 yards = 1 rod, 3foot =1 yard, 1 mile = 5280 feet.

240rods*\frac{5.5yards}{1rod}*\frac{3foot}{1yard}*\frac{1mi}{5280feet}=0.75mi

The given speed of race horse = 40.7mi/hr

Calculating the time required:

0.75mi*\frac{1hr}{40.7mi}*\frac{60min}{1hr}*\frac{60s}{1min}= 66.34s

Therefore, 66.34 s is required for a race horse to run six furlongs at 40.7 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, they differ because a physical property is observed without changing the nature of the substance. On the other hand, a change in the nature of the substance must be carried out to observe a chemical property.

As examples, density, solubility and odor (physical properties) could be known by just analyzing a substance, nonetheless, pH, reactivity or combustibility must be known by submitting the substance to a specific chemical reaction.

Best regards.
