Question

what is your average speed in mjijles per hour and in feet per second if you travel a mile in 10 minutes

Answer 1

Explanation:

The body travels 1 mile in 10 mins. First we have to calculate speed in miles/hour. We know speed is total distance covered divided by total time.

Speed of the body in miles/hr:

`= (1 \: mile)/( (10)/(60) hr)`

`= 60 \: miles/hr`

1 mile equals to 5280 feet. We have to find the speed of the body in feet/s. 10 mins = 10 × 60 secs = 600 s.

Speed of the body in feet/s:

`= (5280 \: ft)/(600 \: s)`

`= 8.8 \: ft/s`

`\therefore` Speed of the body is 60 miles/hr and 8.8 ft/s.
