First we need to convert 30+s in hour or convert the constant speed in m%2Fs.
30s=0.083h
V=d%2Ft
+d=V%2At
d=72km%2Fh%2A0.0083
+d=0.6km
convert 72km%2Fhin m%2Fs
calculate the distance
V=72km%2Fh+%2A%281000m%2F3600s%29, so 72%28km%2Fh%29=20%28m%2Fs%29
we can calculate the distance
V=d%2Ft, so d=v%2At
d=%2820m%2Fs%29%2830s%29
+d=600m or d=0.6km

A car travels at a constant speed of 30.0 m/s for 0.8h. Find the total distance traveled in km.
--------------------
0.8 hr = 0.8*3600 seconds = 2880 seconds
d = 30*2880 meters = 8640 meters
d = 8.64 km
