Question

A car is speeding at miles per hour. How many meters per minute is the vehicle travelling?

Answer 1

70 miles per hour

Answer 2

1 mile = 1.609344 kilometers
so convert 70 miles to kms using this value to get kms / hour
multiply by 1000 to get meters to hour
then divide by number of seconds in an hour to get meters / second

Answer 3

ok i got it. do you think you can help me with this one?
At a certain altitude and time, a rocket's acceleration is . One gravity (g) is equivalent to . What is the rocket's acceleration in meters per square second?

Answer 4

oh - you need meters per minute
so the last sentence should by divide by 60

Answer 5

At a certain altitude and time, a rocket's acceleration is 3.75g . One gravity (g) is equivalent to 32.2ft/s^2 . What is the rocket's acceleration in meters per square second?

Answer 6

3.75(32.2ft/s^2)*(1m/3.28ft)

Answer 7

conversion factor for ft to meters is 1ft = .3048 meter
32.2 ft /s^2 = 32.2 * 0.3048 m/s^2

required acceleration is 3.75*32.2 * 0.3048 m/s^2
