Example 4
Convert an acceleration of
Final Answer: The acceleration in kmh^-2 is
Step 1 :The acceleration is given in meters per second squared (ms^-2). We need to convert it to kilometers per hour squared (kmh^-2).
Step 2 :To do this, we need to convert meters to kilometers and seconds to hours.
Step 3 :1 meter = 0.001 kilometers
Step 4 :1 second = 1/3600 hours
Step 5 :So, we need to multiply the given acceleration by (0.001/1) for the distance conversion and by (1/3600)^2 for the time conversion.
Step 6 :
Step 7 :
Step 8 :
Step 9 :
Step 10 :Final Answer: The acceleration in kmh^-2 is
