Question

Forrest is texting while driving along the freeway at 70 miles per hour. How many feetdoes the car travel during the 3-second interval when Forrest’s eyes are not on the road?

Answer 1

d = 308ft

Therefore, the car travelled 308ft in 3sec

Explanation:

Given;

Speed v = 70miles/hour

converting the speed to ft/sec. We have

v = 70miles/hour × 5280ft/mile × 1/3600sec/hour

v = 102.67ft/sec

Time = 3 sec

To determine the distance travelled in 3sec

distance = speed × time

d = 102.67 × 3

d = 308ft

Therefore, the car travelled 308ft in 3sec
