Problem 1: If a car is traveling at a speed of 28.0 m/s,
is it exceeding the speed limit of 55.0 mi/h?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Yes, see explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering that 1 hour equals 3600 seconds and 1 mile equals 1609.34 meters, the speed at which the car is moving is:

[tex]28.0\frac{m}{s} *\frac{1mi}{1609.34m}*\frac{3600s}{1h} \\ \\=62.63\frac{mi}{h}[/tex]

Thus, since the speed is greater than the limit we conclude it is exceeding the speed limit.

Regards.
