In an 8.00 kmkm race, one runner runs at a steady 11.2 km/hkm/h and another runs at 14.9 km/hkm/h.
How far from the finish line is the slower runner when the faster runner finishes the race?
Express your answer in kilometers to three significant figures.
Bill runs at a steady pace of 5.00 m/s. How long will it take Bill to run 1.00 mile? (N.B. 1 mile =5280 feet). Answer in seconds.
A spacecraft accelerates from rest: a = bt = 0.2t until a = 10.4, after which it continues at constant acceleration 10.4. Everything is in a straight line. How much time does it take to reach 10.4? (The base units are meters and seconds.) And what are the dimensions of the number b in a = bt?
