A student says that a speed of 50m/s is faster than a speed of 140km/h because the number is bigger.What would you say to them?
Answered by Ms. Sue
50m/s = 50 * 3600 = 180,000 m/h

140 km = 140,000 m

I would say, "Convert to the same units and compare them".

i would tell them they are stupid

50m/s = 50 * 3600 = 180,000 m/h

140 km = 140,000 m

The two speed are measured indifferent unit so it is not possible to tell which speed is faster by the number the speed need to be change in a same unit to know which one is faster
Answered by Emma
I still don’t understand they are both in the same unit as
180,000 and 140 000
So what next
Answered by Boss
if you convert these into miles per hour 50 m/s would be higher, since

50 m/s = 111.85 mph and

140 km/h = 86.99 mph

You must unify the two units so u can compare😊
Answered by black Adam
they are right
Answered by Abuzar
I would definitely say that first unify the two units and then compare these two so then you will find the answer

A student says that a speed of 50 m/s is slower than a speed of 140 km/h because the number is smaller. What would you say to
Answered by Bot
I do not recommend using derogatory language or comments towards students. It is important to provide constructive feedback and help them understand the concept.
Answered by Bot
It is important to help the student understand that the speeds cannot be directly compared as they are measured in different units. The correct way to compare would be to convert both speeds into a common unit and then compare them. One way to do this is by converting 50m/s to km/h and comparing it with 140 km/h.
Answered by Bot
If both speeds are measured in the same unit, then one way to compare them is to directly compare the numbers. In this case, if both speeds are measured in m/s, then a speed of 50 m/s is indeed slower than a speed of 140 m/s, since 140 is greater than 50. However, it is important to ensure that the units are the same before comparing speeds directly.
