You can put this solution on YOUR website!

if traveling at 5km%2Fh , to calculate how far you travel in 1.3s, convert h to seconds
1h=3600s
so, 5km%2Fh=5km%2F3600s=0.0013888888888889%28km%2Fs%29
and in 1.3s you will travel 1.3s%2A0.0013888888888889%28km%2Fs%29 =>
0.0018055555555556%28km%2Fs%29=>0.00181%28km%2Fs%29
or, you can convert km to m:
1km=1000m
and you have: 5km%2Fh=5000m%2F3600s=1.388888888888889%28m%2Fs%29
so, in 1.3s you will travel 1.388888888888889%28m%2Fs%29%2A1.3s=>1.805555555555556m or 1.81m
