Answer 1

Answer:

Speed=distance/time

100/11=9.1 m/s

1. 9.1 miles per hour

9.1 miles=14641.9 meters

1 hour= 60s

14641.9/60= 244.0 m/s

2. 16 miles per hour

16 miles= 25744 meters

25744/60= 429.1 m/s

3. 20.3 miles per hour

20.3 miles= 32662.7 meters

32662.7/60= 544.4 m/s

4. 24 miles per hour

24 miles= 38616 meters

38616/60= 643.6 m/s
