Question

A spaceship travels 36000km in 1 hour . Express in m/s

Answer 1

Answer:

0.01 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Distance = 36000 km

Time = 1 hour

Thus,  Speed = Distance/Time = 36000/1 = 36000 km/h

We know that 1 km = 1000 m.

So, 36000 km/h = 36000/1000 m/h = 36 m/h

Now, we need to convert hours into seconds.

For that, Let's first convert it into minutes.

1 hour = 60 min.

and, 1 min = 60s.

Thus, 1 hour = 60*60 = 3600 seconds.

Hence, 36 m/h = 36/3600 m/s = 1/100 m/s = 0.01 m/s

Alternate:

Multiply the given Speen in km/h by 5/18.

So, here, speed = 36000 km/h

So, speed in m/s = 36000 * 5/18 = 0.01 m/s
