Question

A motorcycle is traveling at a constant speed of 45 miles per hour. how many feet does it travel in 6 seconds? remember that 1 mile is 5280 feet.

Answer 1

The total number of feet travelled by the motorcycle is 396 feet

Explanation:

Using the constant speed relationship with the distance:

v = s/t

From the above equation the distance travelled will be:

s = v * t (i)

We are given with the v, that is:

v = 45 miles per hour

Converting in to feet per second.

v = (45 * 5280)/3600 feet / s

v = 66 feet per second

Now, put that v and t in equation (i)

s = 66 * 6

s = 396 feet
