Answer:

Car speed is 79.2 feet per second.

Car will travel the distance of 396 feet in 5 seconds.

Explanation:

Given speed of car is 54 mph

We need to find the speed of car in feet per second

Now we know that,

1 miles = 5280 feet

1 hour = 3600 sec

hence 54 mph =
(54 * 5820)/(3600) =79.2 \ ft/s

Car speed is 79.2 feet per second.

Now we need to find the distance in 5 seconds

Distance = Speed
* time =
79.2* 5 =396 ft

Hence Car will travel the distance of 396 feet in 5 seconds.
