Convert 162 km/h into metres per second.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 45 m/s
- Step 1: Divide km/h by 3.6. Step 2. 162 ÷ 3.6 = 45 m/s. Answer: 45 m/s. Why not the others: 583.2 m/s results from having multiplied by 3.6 instead of dividing. 27 m/s results from having divided by 6. 0.162 m/s results from having only divided by 1000.
