How far will a car moving at 50 miles an hour travel in the time it takes to sneeze?

To determine how far a car traveling at 50 miles per hour will travel in the time it takes to sneeze, we need to know the average duration of a sneeze.

Let's assume that a sneeze lasts for about 1 second.

To calculate the distance traveled, we need to convert the speed from miles per hour to miles per second to match the time unit.

There are 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute. Therefore, there are 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds in an hour.

So, to convert the car's speed from miles per hour to miles per second, divide 50 miles per hour by 3600 seconds:

50 miles/hour ÷ 3600 seconds/hour = 0.0139 miles/second

Now, multiply the car's speed of 0.0139 miles/second by the duration of a sneeze (1 second):

0.0139 miles/second × 1 second = 0.0139 miles

Therefore, a car moving at 50 miles per hour will travel approximately 0.0139 miles (or about 73 feet) in the time it takes to sneeze.
