The body speed is 60 km / h. What is the speed of the body in m / s?

In order to convert kilometers per hour to meters per second, we will use a universal method for converting similar units of measurement

1. First, let’s imagine 60 km / h as a fraction:

60 km / 1 h

2. As we know, one kilometer contains 1000 meters, and one hour contains 3600 seconds. Separately, we will translate the existing units of measurement into those that are of interest to us:

60 km × 1000/1 h × 3600 = 6000 m / 3600 s

3. Reduce the fraction:

6000 m / 3600 s = 10 m / 6 s

4. Let’s write down the answer:

Answer: 10 m / 6 s or ~ 16.6667 m / s
