What is the value of 10 km/hr in SI units?
2.7 m/s
To convert 10 km/hr to SI units (meters per second, m/s), we need to convert kilometers to meters and hours to seconds.
1. Kilometers to Meters:
1 km = 1000 m
Therefore, 10 km = 10 * 1000 m = 10000 m
2. Hours to Seconds:
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
Therefore, 1 hour = 60 * 60 seconds = 3600 seconds
3. Combining the Conversions:
We have 10000 meters per 3600 seconds. To find the value in m/s, we divide:
\(\frac{10000 \text{ m}}{3600 \text{ s}} = \frac{100}{36} \text{ m/s} = \frac{25}{9} \text{ m/s} \approx 2.777... \text{ m/s}\)
Rounding to one decimal place, we get 2.7 m/s.
Therefore, the value of 10 km/hr in SI units is approximately 2.7 m/s.
