Answer:
The space in seconds that will be kept = 2.27 seconds
Explanation:
S = d/t..................... Equation 1
making t the subject of formula in the equation above,
t = d/S.................... Equation 2
Where S = speed, d = distance, t = time.
Conversion: (i)if 1 mph = 0.44704 m/s,
then, 30 mph = 30×0.44704
= 13.41 m/s
(ii) If 1 foot = 0.3048 m
then, 100 foot = 30.48 m.
Given: S = 30 mph = 13.41 m/s, d = 100 foot = 30.48 m
Substituting these values into equation 2
t = 30.48/13.41
t = 2.27 seconds.
Therefore the space in seconds that will be kept = 2.27 seconds
