Notice that in each conversion factor the numerator equals the denominator when units are taken into account. A common error in dealing with squares is to square the units inside the parentheses while forgetting to square the numbers! QUESTION What is the numerical part of the time conversion factor, apart from units, that would be used to further convert the answer to km/h2

Answer:

he factor for the temporal part 1.296 107 s² = h²

m / s² = 12960 km / h²

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a unit conversion exercise.

In the unit conversion, the size of the object is not changed, only the value with respect to which it is measured is changed, for this reason in the conversion the amount that is in parentheses must be worth one.

In this case, it is requested to convert a measure km/h²

Unfortunately, it is not clearly indicated what measure it is, but the most used unit in physics is m / s² , which is a measure of acceleration. Let's cut this down

the factor for the distance is 1000 m = 1 km

the factor for time is 3600 s = 1 h

let's make the conversion

m / s² (1km / 1000 m) (3600 s / 1h)²

note that as time is squared the conversion factor is also squared

m / s² = 12960 km / h²

the factor for the temporal part 1.29 107 s² = h²
