Respuesta :

Answer:

Car speed is 79.2 feet per second.

Car will travel the distance of 396 feet in 5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given speed of car is 54 mph

We need to find the speed of car in feet per second

Now we know that,

1 miles = 5280 feet

1 hour = 3600 sec

hence 54 mph =  [tex]\frac{54 \times 5820}{3600} =79.2 \ ft/s[/tex]

Car speed is 79.2 feet per second.

Now we need to find the distance in 5 seconds

Distance = Speed [tex]\times[/tex] time = [tex]79.2\times 5 =396 ft[/tex]

Hence Car will travel the distance of 396 feet in 5 seconds.
