Question

Pallavi and Bonny have to cover different distances to reach their school but they take the same time

to reach the school. What can you say about their speed? How will you convert the speed given in km/h to m/s

Answer 1

Answer:

To convert km/h to m/s is quite easy, here is the calculations

Let's take speed in km/h as 10km/h and to convert this we will first have to convert km to m

Therefore, 10km = 10 * 1000 = 10000m

Therefore, speed = 10000 m/h

Now let's convert the time from hours to seconds,

10000 m/h = 10000 m/3600s

so now let's simplify 10000/3600

Therefore, 10000/3600 = 2.78 m/s (rounded to 3 s.f.)
