Question
When traffic light turns green, the driver of a high performance car slams the pedal into high speed. Thespeedometer shows 25.0 ms-1 of speed. Calculate this reading to km min-1
Solution
To convert the speed from meters per second (ms^-1) to kilometers per minute (km min^-1), you need to follow these steps:
-
Convert meters to kilometers: Since 1 kilometer (km) is equal to 1000 meters (m), you divide the speed by 1000. So, 25.0 ms^-1 is equal to 25.0/1000 = 0.025 km/s.
-
Convert seconds to minutes: Since 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds, you multiply the speed by 60. So, 0.025 km/s is equal to 0.025*60 = 1.5 km min^-1.
So, the speed of the car is 1.5 km min^-1.
