Semi-trailer trucks have an odometer on one hub of a trailer wheel. The hub is weighted so that it does not rotate, but it contains gears to count the number of wheel revolutions-it then calculates the distance traveled. If the wheel has a 1.09 m diameter and goes through 290,000 rotations, how many kilometers should the odometer read?

A common unit for speed used in sailing is the knot (nautical miles per hour). A nautical mile is about 1.15 regular miles. Calculate how much further (in feet) a boat moving at 22 knots will travel in 5 minutes compared to a car moving at 22 mph during the same time.
I am unsure if I should determine how many miles equal a kilometer or how many miles per hour equal kilometers per hour. A car travels with an average speed of 35 MPH. What is this speed in km/h?
Estimate the number of steps you would have to take to walk a distance equal to the circumference of the Earth. (We estimate that the length of a step for an average person is about 18 inches, or roughly 0.5 m. The radius of the Earth is 6.38 x 106 m.) 105 steps 108 steps 1011 steps 1015 steps O 1020 steps
What acceleration must affect an object so that it can travel at 16.5 m/s in a circular path of circumference 61.5 m? (Units: ms2.) Please write only with 1 decimal place.
You are driving 52 mi/h and take your eyes off the road for "just a second" (exactly one second). What distance (in feet) do you travel in this time?
Hey, I'm really so sorry for leaving this out, but I completely forgot to tell you that I need the answer in the amount of years it takes. That's totally on me, I apologize. Also, I can't tell if the dot between the two 2s in the answer is a multiplication symbol or a decimal point.
