Question

Charlotte is driving at 66.5 mi/h and receives a text message. She looks down at her phone and takes her eyes off the road for 3.47 s. How far has Charlotte traveled in feet during this time

Answer 1

the distance traveled by Charlotte in feet is 338.44 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

speed of Charlotte, u = 66.5 mi/h

time of motion, t = 3.47 s

The distance traveled by Charlotte in feet is calculated as;

`Distance = Speed \ * \ time \\\\D = ut\\\\D = ((66.5 \ mi)/(h) * (5280 \ ft)/(1 \ mi) * (1 \ h)/(3600 \ s) )(3.47 \ s)\\\\D = 338.44 \ ft`

Therefore, the distance traveled by Charlotte in feet is 338.44 ft
