Answer : The speed in meters per second is 17.89 m/s
Explanation :
The conversion used from miles to kilometer is:
1 mile = 1.61 km
The conversion used from kilometer to meter is:
1 km = 1000 m
So, [tex]1mile=\frac{1.61km}\times \frac{1000m}{1km}=1610m[/tex]
The conversion used from hour to second is:
1 hr = 3600 s
So, [tex]1mile/hr=\frac{1610}{3600}m/s[/tex]
As we are given the speed 40.00 miles per hour. Now we have to determine the speed in meter per second.
As, [tex]1mile/hr=\frac{1610}{3600}m/s[/tex]
So, [tex]40.00mile/hr=\frac{40.00mile/hr}{1mile/hr}\times \frac{1610}{3600}m/s=17.89m/s[/tex]
Therefore, the speed in meters per second is 17.89 m/s
