Sounds like you're arguing a citation...
.
Since speed is given as 63 miles per hour
relate you seconds to hours:
2 sec * 1 min/60 sec * 1 hour/60 min = 2/3600 hrs = 5.556x10^(-4)
1.5 sec * 1 min/60 sec * 1 hour/60 min = 1.5/3600 hrs = 4.1667x10^(-4)
.
1.5 seconds of travel:
4.1667x10^(-4) * 63 = 0.02625 miles
Or, in terms of feet
0.02625 * 5280 = 138.6 feet
.
2 seconds of travel:
5.556x10^(-4) * 63 = 0.035 miles
Or, in terms of feet
0.035 * 5280 = 184.8 feet
