Question

question 6 (1 point)
what is the conversion factor between km/h and m/s?
0.0278 m/s
0.278 m/s
3.60 m/s
16.7 m/s

Explanation:

Step1: Convert kilometers to meters

Since \(1\ km = 1000\ m\).

Step2: Convert hours to seconds

Since \(1\ h=3600\ s\).

Step3: Find the conversion factor

\(1\ \frac{km}{h}=\frac{1000\ m}{3600\ s}=\frac{10}{36}\ m/s\approx 0.278\ m/s\)

Answer:

\(0.278\ m/s\) (the second option)
