Goggles Paisano (aka Fred Flintstone) has once again entered the Indianrockolis 500. The race consists of 200 laps around a 2.5 mile track. Driving like a guy coming home on the freeway, Goggles completes all 200 laps in a time of 2 hours and 33 minutes. Giving your answers in terms of mi/h and m/s (1 mi = 1609 m), determine the following: (a) With what average speed did Goggles Paisano run the race? (b) With what average velocity did Goggles Paisano run the race?

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 .
Shannon decides to check the accuracy of her speedometer. She adjusts her speed to read exactly 70 mph on her speedometer and holds this steady, measuring the time between successive mile markers separated by exactly 1.00 mile. If she measures a time of 54 s, is her speedometer accurate? If not, is the speed it shows too high or too low?
The world land speed record is 763.0 mi/h, set on October 15, 1997, by Andy Green in the jet-engine car Thrust SSC. If we subtract 183 mi/h from this speed, Express the resultant speed in meters per second.
The world record for the hundred meter dash is 9.58 s.What is the corresponding average speed in units of m/s,km/h,ft/s,and mi/h? At this speed, how long would it take to run 1.00 x 102 yards?
The approximate distance d (in feet) that drivers travel afternoticing that they must come to a sudden stop is given by thefollowing formula, where x is the speed of the car (in mi/h):d  x  x220If a car travels 75 ft before stopping, what was its speedbefore the brakes were applied?
Using the equation ??2 =???2 +2??(?−??) where a car is moving at an initial speed of 22 m/s slams on the breaks, traveling a distance of 45.6 m before coming to rest. Solving for the acceleration, how many significant figures would it accurately have?
A car speedometer has a 5.0% uncertainty. What isthe range of possible speeds when it reads 90 km/h ? (b)Convert this range to miles per hour. (1 km = 0.6214 mi)
If it usually takes you three hours to arrive to Aqaba (from Amman) using a passenger car with amax. Speed of 100km/hr, estimate the time you need to reach to the same point if you own thisvehicle
Sleds propelled by rockets are used to study how humans react to sudden acceleration. If a rocket-powered sled accelerates to a speed of 442.82 m/s in 1.71 seconds, what is the sled's acceleration (measured in meters per second squared)? Only the final answer, stated to three decimal places, should be rounded off.
Jane is driving down the road at 20.0 m/s looking for a house address. when she sees the house, she slams on her brakes. If her reaction time is 1.20s and her car deaccelerates at 3.50 m/s^2, how far past the point where she first saw the house did her car come to rest? I feel like I need to use one of the 4 kinematics equations, but none seem to be giving me the correct answer when I plug in my numbers :(
A bicyclist in the Tour de France has a speed of 29.0 miles per hour (mi/h) on a flat section of the road. What is this speed in (a) kilometers per hour (km/h), and (b) meters per second (m/s)?
Can someone solve this question, but in the S.I. units meters per second (m/s).
