Converting a speed of 15 m/s to km/h results in what value?

To convert a speed from meters per second (m/s) to kilometers per hour (km/h), you can use the conversion factors that 1 meter is equal to 0.001 kilometers and 1 second is equal to 1/3600 hours. Therefore, to convert m/s to km/h, you multiply the speed in m/s by 3600 (the number of seconds in an hour) and divide by 1000 (the number of meters in a kilometer).

For a speed of 15 m/s, the conversion can be calculated as follows:

1. Start with the speed in m/s: 15 m/s.

2. Convert to km/h:

• ( 15 , \text{m/s} \times \frac{3600 , \text{s}}{1 , \text{hour}} = 15 \times 3600 ).

• ( 15 \times 3600 = 54000 , \text{m} ).

3. Now convert meters to kilometers:

• ( 54000 , \text{m} \times \frac{1 , \text{km}}{1000 , \text{m}} =
