Which conversion factors are used to multiply to 12 m/s to get kilometers per minute?
60 s = 1 min
1 km = 1000 m
1min = 60 s
1000 m = 1 km
Solution:
Given, we have 12 m/s.
Converting m/s to km/ min means that we are converting the units of a given speed from meter per second to kilometer per minute.
This conversion is done by using a conversion factor.
Remember that,
1 km = 1000 m.
To convert m to km, multiply by 1/1000.
1 min = 60 sec.
To convert sec to min, multiply by 1/60.
Substituting, we get,
12(1/1000 /1/60)
= 12(60/10000)
= 12(0.006)
= 0.72 km/min
Therefore, the conversion factors used are 1 km = 1000 m and 1min = 60 s
Which conversion factors are used to multiply to 12 m/s to get kilometers per minute?
Summary:
The conversion factors used are 1 km = 1000 m and 1min = 60 s. 12 m/s is converted as 0.72 km/min.
