1.  Convert your speed values from m/s to miles per hour.  The technique is shown below.

2.  See if you can create your own conversion factor for converting from m/s to furlongs per fortnight.  You may need to look up the definition of furlong and fortnight.

3.  How many seconds is a microfortnight?  Recall that micro means one millionth.  Show the work for this.

4.  How great a distance is a nano-light-year?  Work it out.  Recall that nano means one billionth.  You may have to look up light-year (in m).  Also, if the radius of the Earth is 6.4 x 10^6 m, how close is a nano-light-year?
