Charlotte is driving at 57.4 mi/h and receives a text message. She looks down at her phone and takes her eyes off the road for 4.96 s. How far has Charlotte traveled in feet during this time

Respuesta :

Answer:

418.18 feet

Explanation:

Applying,

v = d/t.................. Equation 1

Where v = velocity, d = distance, t = time.

make d the subeject of the equation

d = vt............ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: v = 57.4 mi/h, t = 4.96 s = (4.96/3600) h = 1.38×10⁻³ h

Substitute these values into equation 2

d = (57.4×1.38×10⁻³)

d = 0.0792 mi

Converting from miles to feet

d = (0.0792×5280) feet

d = 418.18 feet
