The distance traveled by a 75 mph train in 2 hours is 150 miles.
Compare each question with the information above.
a) Begining at a standstill, a car maintains a constant acceleration of 10 ft/sec^2 for 10seconds. What is its velocity after 10seconds? Give your answer in ft/sec and then convert in to mi/h.
b) In a vacuum, light travels at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second. How many kilometers does it travel in a year? (This distance equals one light-year.)
c) A long distance runner ran in 5 hours, avering 6 mph for the first 3 hours and 5 mph for the last 2 hours. How far did she run?
This is a calculus problem. Please explain the answer in detail if you can.
