1. Convert Units:

* Speed: 96 miles per hour needs to be converted to feet per second.

* There are 5280 feet in a mile.

* There are 3600 seconds in an hour.

* Speed = 96 miles/hour * (5280 feet/mile) / (3600 seconds/hour) = 140.8 feet/second

2. Apply the Formula:

* Distance = Speed x Time

3. Calculate the Distance:

* Distance = 140.8 feet/second * 17 seconds = 2393.6 feet
