Prior to beginning the calculations, let’s convert the units into those we require: 1- For the distance:1 mile = 1609 meters = 1609 x 100 = 160900 cm = 1609 / 1000 = 1.609 km = (160900 x 1 ) / 2.54 = 63346.45 in 2- For the time:13 minutes = 13 / 60 = 0.2166 hours = 13 x 60 = 780 seconds
Now, we can proceed with the calculations: velocity is determined using this formula: velocity = distance / time
(a) in/seconds velocity = 63346.45 in / 780 sec = 81.213 in / sec
(b) m/min velocity = 1609 m / 13 min = 123.769 m/min
