Question

convert 2km/hr to min/s

Answer 1

To convert a speed from kilometers per hour (km/h) to meters per second (m/s), you can use the conversion factors:

1 kilometer = 1,000 meters
1 hour = 3,600 seconds

Here's the conversion for 2 km/h:

\[
2 \text{ km/h} = 2 \times \frac{1000 \text{ m}}{1 \text{ km}} \times \frac{1 \text{ h}}{3600 \text{ s}}
\]

Calculating it step by step:

\[
2 \times \frac{1000}{3600} = \frac{2000}{3600}
\]

Now simplify:

\[
\frac{2000}{3600} = \frac{5}{9} \text{ m/s} \approx 0.5556 \text{ m/s}
\]

To convert meters per second to meters per minute, since there are 60 seconds in a minute:

\[
0.5556 \text{ m/s} \times 60 \text{ s/min} = 33.336 \text{ m/min}
\]

So, 2 km/h is approximately 33.34 meters per minute.
