Use a unit multiplier to convert 90 meters per minute to meters per second.

Sagot :

Hello there. To solve this question, we'll have to remember some properties about unit conversions.

We want to convert 90 meters per minute to meters per second.

Remember 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds, therefore we can write

90 meters per 60 seconds

Simplify it by a factor of 30

3 meters per 2 seconds

Which is the same as

1.5 meters per second

The unit multiplier was divide the number by 60, in order to get minutes to seconds and, therefore, find the value in m/s.
