Question

A train traveling at a constant speed of 105 miles per hour. How many feet does it travel I 3 seconds?

Answer 1

To convert miles per hour to feet per second, multiply the speed in mph by 5280/3600 = 1.46667.

105 mph * 1.46667 ft/s = 153.333 ft/s

To find the distance travelled in 3 seconds, multiply the speed by time:

153.333 ft/s * 3 s = 315 ft

Answer 2

A train traveling at a constant speed of 105 miles per hour covers a distance of 315 miles in 3 hours. To find the distance in feet, we need to convert miles to feet:

315 miles * 5,280 feet/mile = 1,654,400 feet

So, in 3 seconds, the train travels approximately:

1,654,400 feet / (60 seconds/minute * 60 minutes/hour) = 9,072 feet

Therefore, in 3 seconds, the train traveling at a constant speed of 105 miles per hour travels approximately 9,072 feet.
