Morse · Answer 1

Speed = distance/time

calculating for distance would be time times speed

convert the speed:

60 m/h = 60/3600 m/s = 0.0167 m/s

apply the formula: 0.0167m/s x 2 s = 0.0334 m

One of the items that I've carried with me in my tool-box for many years is:

60 miles per hour = exactly 88 feet per second.

Having that little tool turns this question into a piece-'o-cake.

(88 feet/sec) x (2 sec) = 176 feet
