Convert 60 km/ hr into m/s

1 KM per minute is the real speed in minutes, turn that into 1000 meters per minute and divided by 60, you get a good number of 16.6666666667 which means you could go 50 meters per 3 seconds

Explanation:

TREAT UNITS AS PARTS OF AN EQUATION

Here is an example given 3 km/hr write an equation:

3 km/hr = 3 km/hr X 1000 meter/1 kilometer

Because 1000m/1 km is the same as X1, you have free choice of your unit conversion. Sometimes you need 1000 m / 1 km and other times you need 1 km/ 1000m in order to cancel unwanted units.

NOW SIMPLIFY

3 km/hr = 3 X 1000 meter/hr [notice that I cancelled symbols from numerator and denominator in the usual algebraic way]

Now 60 km/hr

60 km/hr = 60 km/hr X 1000 m/km X 1 hr / 60 min X 1 min / 60 second =

60 X 1000 X 1 X 1 / ( 60 X 60 ) and the units cancel in the usual way to m/s =

60000 / 3600 m/s = 16.67 m/s

HOPE THIS HELPS

HAVE A GOOD DAY :)
