To find out how many feet an object travels in one hour when it’s moving at five feet per second, we can start by determining how many seconds are in one hour. There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour, giving us a total of:
60 seconds/minute × 60 minutes/hour = 3600 seconds/hour
Now, we multiply the speed (5 feet/second) by the total number of seconds in one hour (3600 seconds):
5 feet/second × 3600 seconds/hour = 18,000 feet
Therefore, if an object travels at five feet per second, it will cover a distance of 18,000 feet in one hour.
