Billy is running away from a Wells Fargo bank at a speed of 13 kilometers per hour (units are km/h). If the distance between the bank and the border to Mexico is 1.9 km, will he be able to get there before the cops arrive in 9 minutes? How long will it take for him to reach the border? (Hint: speed = distance / time, 1 hour = 60 minutes)

A car is traveling at a speed of 33 m/s. (a) What is its speed in kilometers per hour? (b) Is it exceeding the 90 km/h speed limit?
In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably mole comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical Intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0m/s=3.6km/h and 1.0m/s=2.2mi/h .
