How do you convert 73 mi/h = ____km/s?

Answer 1

Levi Adams

#3.26*10^-2 \ "km/s"#.

Well, we know that

#"1 mile = 1.609 km"#

and

#"1 hour = 3600 seconds"#

So, we have,

#"73 miles/hr" = (73*1.609)/3600 \ "km/s"#

# \ = "0.0326 km/s"#

# =3.26*10^-2 \ "km/s"#

To convert 73 miles per hour (mi/h) to kilometers per second (km/s), you can use the following steps:

Convert miles to kilometers: 1 mile is approximately equal to 1.60934 kilometers.
Convert hours to seconds: 1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds.

Now, you can perform the conversion:

[ 73 , \text{mi/h} \times \frac{1.60934 , \text{km}}{1 , \text{mi}} \times \frac{1 , \text{h}}{3600 , \text{s}} = \frac{73 \times 1.60934}{3600} , \text{km/s} ]

[ \frac{73 \times 1.60934}{3600} \approx 0.0326 , \text{km/s} ]

So, 73 miles per hour is approximately equal to 0.0326 kilometers per second.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
