Question

A tuna travels at a speed of 72 Kilometers per hour. What is the speed of tuna in meters per second?

Answer 1

that would be 72,000 meters

Answer 2

72 kilometers per hour = 20 meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of tuna, v = 72 km/hr

We need to find Tuna's speed in meters per second. To convert km/hr to m/s we must use the following conversions as :

`1\ km=1000\ m`

And,
`1\ h=3600\ s`

`72\ km=72000\ m`

`Speed=(72\ km)/(1\ h)=(72000\ m)/(3600\ s)`

Speed = 20 m/s

So, Tuna's is travelling with a speed of 20 meters per second. Hence, this is the required solution.
