Question

A cyclist rides her bike at a speed of 36 kilometers per hour. What is the speed in meters per second?How many meters will the cyclist travel in 15 seconds?

Answer 1

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Speed= 36km per hour

We konw the following proportions:

1km= 1,000 meters

1 hour= 3,600 seconds

Meter per hour= 1,000*36= 36,000 meters

Meter per second= 36,000/3,600= 10 meters per second

Now, for 15 seconds:

Distance= 15*10= 150 meters
