Final answer:
A car traveling at 15 m/s will travel 54 kilometers in 1 hour, as there are 3,600 seconds in one hour and the car moves 15 meters each second.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate how far a car traveling at 15 m/s will travel in 1 hour, we need to convert the time from hours to seconds, since the speed is given in meters per second (m/s). There are 3,600 seconds in one hour. Thus, the distance traveled can be found by multiplying the speed by the time:
Distance = Speed × Time
Distance = 15 m/s × 3,600 s
Distance = 54,000 meters
To convert this to kilometers, we divide by 1,000, as there are 1,000 meters in one kilometer:
Distance = 54,000 meters / 1,000
Distance = 54 kilometers
