Question

A swift can fly at 160km/h. what is the speed in m/s? ​

Answer 1

• 44.4 m/s (approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

A swift can fly in = 160 km/h

Just multiply the given value by 5/18 to get the answer in m/s

• 160 * 5/18 m/s
• 80*5/9
• 400/9
• 44.4444...
• 44.4 m/s (approx)

Answer 2

44.44 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

1 km = 1000m

1 hour = 60m= 60 × 60 s = 3600 s

In order to convert from kilometers per hour to meters per second, we can use the following unitary method.

`\sf 1 km/h = 1km/h * (1000)/(3600) \textsf{m/s per km/h } \\\\= 1km/h * (5)/(18) \textsf{ m/s per km/h}`

Now,

Let's convert 160 km/h to m/s.

`\sf 160 km/h = 160 km/h *(5)/(18) \textsf{ m/s per km/h} \\\\ \approx 44.44 \textsf{m/s (in 2 d.p) }`

Therefore, the speed of the swift in meters per second is approximately 44.44 m/s.
