A cyclist rides his bike at a speed of

27 miles per hour. What is this speed in feet per second? How many feet will the cyclist travel in 2seconds? In your computations, use the fact that 1 mile is equal to
5280 feet. Do not round your answer.

a. Speed = 27mi/h * 5280Ft/mi * 1h/3600s = 39.6 Ft/s.

b. d = 39.6Ft/s * 2s =

To convert the speed from miles per hour to feet per second, we need to consider the conversion factors. Here's how we can do it step by step:

Step 1: Convert miles per hour to feet per hour.
Given that 1 mile is equal to 5280 feet, we can convert the speed from miles per hour to feet per hour by multiplying by the conversion factor:
27 miles/hour x 5280 feet/mile = 142,560 feet/hour.

Step 2: Convert feet per hour to feet per second.
To convert the speed from feet per hour to feet per second, we divide by the number of seconds in an hour:
142,560 feet/hour ÷ 3600 seconds/hour = 39.6 feet/second.

Therefore, the speed of the cyclist in feet per second is 39.6 feet/second.

Step 3: Calculate the distance traveled in 2 seconds.
To find the distance traveled in 2 seconds, we can multiply the speed (39.6 feet/second) by the time (2 seconds):
39.6 feet/second x 2 seconds = 79.2 feet.

Therefore, the cyclist will travel 79.2 feet in 2 seconds.

To calculate the cyclist's speed in feet per second, we need to convert miles per hour to feet per second. Here's how you can do it:

1. Start with the given speed in miles per hour: 27 miles per hour.
2. Convert miles to feet: Multiply the speed by the conversion factor of 5280 feet per mile.
27 miles/hour * 5280 feet/mile = 142,560 feet/hour.
3. Convert hours to seconds: Divide the speed by the number of seconds in an hour (3600 seconds).
142,560 feet/hour / 3600 seconds/hour ≈ 39.6 feet/second.

So, the speed of the cyclist is approximately 39.6 feet per second.

To find out how many feet the cyclist will travel in 2 seconds, we can use the speed we just calculated:

1. Multiply the speed (39.6 feet/second) by the number of seconds (2 seconds) to get the total distance traveled.
39.6 feet/second * 2 seconds = 79.2 feet.

Therefore, the cyclist will travel approximately 79.2 feet in 2 seconds.

27 miles/1 hour

= 27(5280) ft / (60(60))sec
= 142560/3600 ft/s
= 198/5 ft/s or 39.6 ft/s

So if the cyclist goes 39.6 ft in 1 second,
in 2 seconds he/she goes ......
