Velocity?
Distance = 825m
time= 32s
v=d/t
= 825m/32s
= 25.8 m/s
Example:
A cart travels down a ramp at an average speed of 5.00 centimeters/second. What is the speed of the cart in miles/hour? To solve this problem we have set the conversion values to determine the product during the conversion process.
1. 1 centimeter = 0.00000621371 mile
2. 1 hour = 60 minutes 3. 1 minute = 60 seconds
Thus, we shall have
1. 5 cm x 0.00000621371 mile/1cm = 0.000031069 mi
2. 0.000031069 seconds x 1 hr / 3600 = 0.111846815 miles / hr
