Convert a speed of 73.5 km\/hr to its equivalent in m\/s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer and explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To convert a speed of 73.5 km\/h<\/strong> to meters per second (m\/s<\/strong>), we use the conversion factor: 1 km\/h=1000 m3600 s=518 m\/s1 \\text{ km\/h} = \\frac{1000 \\text{ m}}{3600 \\text{ s}} = \\frac{5}{18} \\text{ m\/s}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, multiplying 73.5 km\/h<\/strong> by 5\/18<\/strong>: 73.5\u00d7518=73.5\u00d7518=367.518=20.42 m\/s73.5 \\times \\frac{5}{18} = \\frac{73.5 \\times 5}{18} = \\frac{367.5}{18} = 20.42 \\text{ m\/s}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Speed is the measure of how fast an object moves and is often given in different units like kilometers per hour (km\/h) or meters per second (m\/s). In physics, m\/s is a more commonly used unit<\/strong> because it directly relates to the SI (International System of Units) for length (meters) and time (seconds).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When converting from km\/h to m\/s<\/strong>, we need to break it down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 1 km = 1000 meters<\/strong>, since “kilo” means 1000<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 hour = 3600 seconds<\/strong>, as there are 60 minutes per hour<\/strong> and 60 seconds per minute<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    So, dividing 1000 meters by 3600 seconds<\/strong>, we get: 1 km\/h=10003600=518 m\/s1 \\text{ km\/h} = \\frac{1000}{3600} = \\frac{5}{18} \\text{ m\/s}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Using this factor, any speed in km\/h can be converted by multiplying by 5\/18<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Importance:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • This conversion is useful in physics problems<\/strong>, car speed analysis<\/strong>, sports<\/strong>, and aviation<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • It allows comparison of different speeds in a standard unit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
