Question

how do you convert 320km/h to m/s

Answer 1

then you should have your answer...
remember that when units are multiplied by the reciprocal they cancel

Answer 2

Simply, divide the km/h by 3.6
320/3.6=88.8m/s

Answer 3

Or do it like this:

320 km/h is like a division: it is 320 km / 1 h.

320 km = 320000m
1 h = 3600 s,

So the division becomes:

320000 m / 3600 s = 320000/3600 m/s.

Now carry out that division!

Answer 4

\[1 KM/H = \frac{1}{3.6}M/S\]

Answer 5

pretty much what @ZeHanz said... and he said it better than me

Answer 6

\[1M/S=3.6KM/H\]

Answer 7

To convert KM/H to M/S, divide by 3.6
To convert M/S to KM/H, multiply by 3.6

Answer 8

@Ahsome : No matter how BIG you write it: without explanation it does not really help...

Answer 9

lol

Answer 10

@ZeHanz Thats how we were taught in Physics. Its just a number you are meant to learn. Like how you know that \(\pi\) is 3.16 etc, you are not meant to know how to get that number in most cases.

Answer 11

Of course, in some tests it might be a requirement.

Answer 12

when i learned physics i had to convert the way i showed it at the top

Answer 13

What I learnt in physics is to remember 3.6 ;)

Answer 14

we all learn different ways

Answer 15

Exactly. I was just showing an easier way

Answer 16

How can you learn physics if you are only taught that some calculation has to be done in a fixed way?
Physics or maths, if something can be explained, it should be imo...

Once you've seen why the conversion involves a factor 3.6, it is of course handy to use!

Answer 17

Do you understand, @angela?

Answer 18

I was shown how to do the conversion. Its just that in practice we use 3.6. We don't do the whole equation.

Answer 19

You already showed the logic behind it. I was just showing what it meant.

Answer 20

for someone beginning to learn in that area... whether it be physics or a certain math, it is much better to show work instead of just simplifying it from the start

Answer 21

I know that @elementwielder. But I also saw you already showed him how to do the work. I just showed the simplified version, knowing you already shown him the expanded version. Thats all :)

Answer 22

I am not saying you are wrong. I just simplified it.

Answer 23

I think we all agree!
Let's wait to see what @angela10 has to say about it :)

Answer 24

alright lets not argue anymore and just leave the question be

Answer 25

He is not online :(

Answer 26

So we couldn't even help him

Answer 27

he was online when i responded

Answer 28

I know. I mean now

Answer 29

ya

Answer 30

oh well... hopefully he or she looks at it later and responds

Answer 31

Yah.

Answer 32

Not to hijack the thread, but can you guys help me with my problem? We are asked to do Directrix and Focus for our assignment, but our teacher didn't teach it to us yet.

Answer 33

???????????????????????????????????????

Answer 34

Sorry, @nawalseif? What's so confusing?
