A car is traveling at a speed of 33 m/s . (a) What is its speed in kilometers per hour? (b) Is it exceeding the 90 km/h speed limit?
Added by Amanda W.
Step 1
We know that 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters and 1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds. So, we can use the following conversion factor: 1 km/h = (1000 m / 1 km) * (1 h / 3600 s) Now, we can convert the given speed (33 m/s) to km/h: Speed in km/h = 33 m/s * (1000 Show more…
