(a) $\text{27}\text{.}\text{8 m/s}$

(b) $\text{62}\text{.}\text{1 mph}$

$\frac{\text{1.0 m}}{\mathrm{s}}=\frac{1\text{.}\text{0 m}}{\mathrm{s}}\times \frac{\text{3600 s}}{\text{1 hr}}\times \frac{\mathrm{1\; km}}{\text{1000 m}}$

$=3\text{.}\text{6 km/h}$.

(a) $2\text{.}2\text{\%}$

(b) $\text{59 to 61 km/h}$

$\text{80}\pm 3\text{beats/min}$

$2\text{.}8\text{h}$

$\text{11.4}\pm 0.6{\text{cm}}^3$

$\text{12}\text{.}\text{06}\pm 0\text{.}\text{04}{\text{m}}^2$
