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 (km)/(hr)`

Given time = 37.0 s

Converting time from seconds to hours:

1 hr= 60 min; 1 min = 60 s

`37.0 s * (1 min)/(60s)*(1 hr)/(60min) = 0.0103 hr`

Calculating distance from speed and time:

`0.0103 hr * (87.0 km)/(1 hr) =0.894 km`

Converting distance from km to m:

`0.894 km * (1000 m)/(1 km) = 894 m`

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