Hi I am in phyiscs I and it has the problem a runner ran the marathon (approx. 26.1) in 2 hours and 57 min. What was the average speed of the runner in m/s? I understand that I would have to divide the total distance by the total time, but I'm not sure how they changed the miles to meters. Please detalied steps of how to solve this so I can understand it. Thank you!
The kinematic equations can describe phenomena other than motion through space andt ime. Suppose represents a person’s bank account balance. The units of x would be dollars ($) , and velocity ? would give the rate at which the balance changes (in units of, for example, $/month). Acceleration would give the rate at which ? changes. Suppose a person begins with ten thousand dollars in the bank. Initial money management leads to no net change in the account balance so that ? = 0 . Unfortunately, management worsens over time so that ? = −250$/????h . Assuming ? is constant, find the amount of time in months until the bank account is empty.
Mark and Karlos were betting on which among their marbles will reach the ground first after dropping them from the building's viewdeck 75 m high. However, Mark accidently drops his marble 1.4 seconds before the drop signal, causing Karlos's marble to drop last. At some time, if a spectator saw that the two marbles were 24 meters apart, how far from the bottom of the building was Karlos's marble at that instant? a. 29.4 m b. 45.6 m c. 52.5 m d. 69.6

Hi I am in physics 1 and I need help with this problem. It saids a boy runs in an open field. He runs 233m due north in 77 seconds, turns 90 degrees to his left and runs 178m in 93 seconds. Sketch a map of his motion and find the following quantities of his motion during this period from starting time to final time a) Map of his motion b) The total distance he runs (233m + 178m= 411m) c) The displacement from starting position to final position. What I have thus far is I got c=sqrt (233)^2+(178)^2=293m. Would I subtract this number from the total distance? Please includes detailed steps of how to solve this

One of my questions got solved and helped me so much thank you! Here’s another one please. Two trains are 9.82km apart. They travel in opposite directions, to each other. Train A has a speed of 5.87 km/h at departure and an acceleration of 0.29m/s squared. Train B has a speed of 20.3m/s at the start and an acceleration of 0.69m/s squared. B. Determine when the trains meet.
If we're shown a drawing of a person's velocity and acceleration vectors, a. how do we know whether the person is speeding up, slowing down or moving at constant speed? (Note: Vectors in the "same direction" are parallel, and those in"opposite directions" are anti-parallel. So it's best to avoid these phrases because we want an answer that encompasses all possibilities, not just parallel and anti- parallel.)
