To convert the velocity from kilometers per hour (km/h) to meters per second (m/s), you can use the conversion factor:
1 km/h = \( \frac{1,000 \text{ m}}{3,600 \text{ s}} \)
So, to convert 72 km/h to m/s:
\[
72 \text{ km/h} = 72 \times \frac{1,000 \text{ m}}{3,600 \text{ s}} = 72 \times \frac{1}{3.6} \text{ m/s}
\]
Now calculating:
\[
72 \div 3.6 = 20 \text{ m/s}
\]
Thus, the velocity of the car in meters per second is \( 20 \text{ m/s} \).
1 km/h = \( \frac{1,000 \text{ m}}{3,600 \text{ s}} \)
So, to convert 72 km/h to m/s:
\[
72 \text{ km/h} = 72 \times \frac{1,000 \text{ m}}{3,600 \text{ s}} = 72 \times \frac{1}{3.6} \text{ m/s}
\]
Now calculating:
\[
72 \div 3.6 = 20 \text{ m/s}
\]
Thus, the velocity of the car in meters per second is \( 20 \text{ m/s} \).
