Question

If you can walk 3 miles per hour, how much is that in meters per second?

Answer 1

To convert 3 miles per hour into m/s, first we have to convert miles in to meter and then hour in to second.

As
`1 miles = 1.609344 km = 1.609344* 10^3 m = 1609.3 m` and
`1 hour=60 minutes = 60* 60= 3600s`

Therefore,

`3 miles/ h=(3*1609.3m)/(3600s) =1.34 m/s`
