Acheetah ran 300 feet in 2.92 seconds. what was the cheetah’s average speed in miles per hour?

We will first convert feet to miles:
1 foot = 0.00018939 miles
300 foot = 0.056817 miles
Than seconds to hours:
2.92 seconds = 0.04867 minutes = 0.0008111 hours
Average speed :
v = d / t
v = 0.056817 miles / 0.008111 h
v = 70.05 miles per hour

The boat's velocity relative to the riverbank can be resolved into two components. the component going north is 2.7 m/s and the component going west is 1.2 m/s.we add these two vectors and then find the magnitude of the resultant to get the speed.the magnitude of the resultant vector from adding can be obtained by the pythagorean theorem.    to two significant figures, the boat's speed relative to the riverbank is 3.0 m/s.
