Final answer:

Traveling at 100 miles per hour, you will reach a destination 100 miles away in one hour, assuming the high speed is sustained throughout the trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are traveling at a speed of 100 miles per hour, it suggests that you would cover 100 miles in one hour. However, since the question specifies that this speed is maintained every two seconds, we will ensure this rate is consistent with the stated speed.

At 100 mph, every two seconds you travel approximately 293 feet (since 1 mile per hour is about 1.47 feet per second). But for the purpose of answering how quickly you could get to your destination which is a hundred miles away, this rate would mean that you'd arrive in exactly one hour, presuming that you could maintain that speed for the entire journey without any interruptions or changes in speed.
