Question

If you are distracted, by a cellphone, passenger, or other distractions, just for one second, at 30mph you will travel how far blindly?

Answer 1

At 30 mph, if a driver is distracted for just one second, the vehicle will travel approximately 44 feet blindly.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how far a vehicle will travel when a driver is distracted for one second at 30 miles per hour (mph), we can use the formula distance = velocity × time. Since 1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds, we can convert 30 mph to feet per second.

First, we know that 1 mile = 5280 feet. Thus, 30 miles = 30 × 5280 feet. To convert to seconds, we divide by 3600 (the number of seconds in an hour):

30 mph = (30 × 5280 feet) / 3600 seconds ≈ 44 feet per second.

If a driver is distracted for exactly one second, the distance traveled blindly is:

44 feet per second × 1 second = 44 feet.

Therefore, at 30 mph, if you are distracted just for one second, you will travel approximately 44 feet blindly.
