why do we use meters “per” second when calculating speed?
The speed of light is 2.998*10^8 m/s. How far does light travel in 7.0 μs ? Set the math up. But don't do any of it. Just leave your answer as a math expression. Also, be sure your answer includes all the correct unit symbols.
Imagine that you took a road trip. Based on the information in the table, what was the average speed of your car?
Time
Mile marker
3:00 pm
32
8:00 pm
166
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Use mimi as an abbreviation for miles, and hh for hours, or mphmph can be used to indicate miles per hour.
