Question

What is a speed of 55 mph equivalent to in units of m/s? (1 mile = 1609 m, 1 hour = 3600 s)

Answer 1

24.58 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Speed of an object = 55 mph

We need to find the equivalent unit in m/s

We know that,

1 mile = 1609 m

1 hour = 3600 s

So,

`55\ mph=(55* 1609\ m)/(3600\ s)\\\\=24.58\ m/s`

So, the required speed is 24.58 m/s.
