Question

convert units
x=5.0m+(3.5m/s)t+(4.9m/s^2)t^2

Answer 1

So, this looks like a factoring equation, but what do you mean convert?

Answer 2

@Cacciatore_J my homework just says to convert the units

Answer 3

The only thing I can think of, that doesn't even really work because of the convoluted units, is factoring. Is there any chance you can contact your teacher to have them help you?

Answer 4

i can try to email him, thank you for trying

Answer 5

No problem

Answer 6

its so simple,
see
we convert all the units into m.

Answer 7

so, 5 m is already in meter

Answer 8

then, (3.5 m/s)t.
We know that m/s is unit of velocity and velocity * time = distance(m).
So we get 3.5 m

Answer 9

understood till here? @Kimes

Answer 10

@Kimes by chance were you given a value for t, the time
Is this all of the original question?
@mayankdevnani I agree with the process but I think you are using a time of 1 sec and that I don't agree with.
what if the time is 1 hour and therefore need to use 60 secs?

Answer 11

the topic is "convert units" suggest that I need to use a conversion factor

correction above 60 secs = 1 minute and 60 mins = 1 hour 3600 secs = 1 hour
