Question

An airplane is traveling at a speed of 200 km/h. Identify the correct conversion factor setup required to compute the speed of the airplane in m/s.

Answer 1

Speed = 55.56 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

An airplane is travelling at the speed of 200 km/h.

We need to convert this in meter/second.

1 km = 1000 meters

1 hour = 3600 seconds

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = (200*1000)/(1*3600)

= 200000/3600 meter/second

Speed = 55.56 m/s

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
