1 mi = 1.609 kilometres
Therefore ,
2558 mi = 2558 * 1.609 kilometres
= 4115.82 kilometres
= 4116 kilometres (approx)

The distance from New York to Los Angeles is about 4,900 km and should take about 49 h in a car driving at 100 km/h. (Note: for u ≪ c, 1 − u2/c2 1 − 1 2 u2 c2 and 1 1 − u2/c2 1 + 1 2 u2 c2 . Do not solve this problem numerically until the last step of the calculation; your calculator may not register the correct answer.) (a) How much shorter than 4,900 km is...
