The speed of a vehicle is increasing at a rate of 7.3 meters per second squared. What is this rate, in miles per minute squared, rounded to the nearest (Use1mile = 1,609meters.) tenth?
Correct answer: B (parsed from the explanation — this source omits an answer key for this item)
Explanation
Choice B is correct. It’s given that the speed of a vehicle is increasing at a rate of 7.3 1mile=1,609meters meters per second squared. It’s given to use . There are 60 602 3,600 seconds in 1 minute; therefore, or seconds squared is equal to 7.3 1 minute squared. It follows that the rate of meters per second squared is 7.3meters 1mile 3,600secondssquared equivalent to a 1secondsquared ka 1,609meters ka 1minutesquared k, or approximately 16.33milesperminutesquared inmilesperminutesquared . The rate, , rounded 16.3 to the nearest tenth is . Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
