Question

How do you convert 29.5 meters per second to kilometers per hour?

Answer 1

`(29.4xx60xx60)/1000 = 106.2`km/h

Explanation:

To do this conversion, consider the following:

If you travel `29.5` metres in `1` sec, then:

in `2` seconds you will travel twice as far as in `1` sec.
in `3` seconds you will travel thrice as far as in `1` sec.
in `4` seconds you will travel four times as far as in `1` sec.

in `1` MINUTE you will travel `60` times as far as in `1` sec

in `1` HOUR you will travel `60xx60` times as far as in `1` sec.

So the distance travelled in `1` hour is:

`29.5 xx60xx60 = 106,200` metres

To change metres into kilometres,`div 1000`

`106200 div1000 = 106.2km` in one hour.

So, the process to convert `m/s to (km)/hr`

`(29.4xx60xx60)/1000 = 106.2`km/h
