To convert 55 kilometers per hour to meters per second, we follow these steps:
1. First, convert kilometers to meters:
[tex]\[ \frac{55 \text{ km}}{1 \text{ hour}} \times \frac{1000 \text{ meters}}{1 \text{ km}} \][/tex]
2. Then, convert hours to seconds by converting hours to minutes and minutes to seconds:
[tex]\[ \times \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{60 \text{ min}} \times \frac{1 \text{ min}}{60 \text{ sec}} \][/tex]
Combining these conversions, we get:
[tex]\[ \frac{55 \text{ km}}{1 \text{ hour}} \times \frac{1000 \text{ meters}}{1 \text{ km}} \times \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{60 \text{ min}} \times \frac{1 \text{ min}}{60 \text{ sec}} \approx 15.28 \frac{\text{ meters}}{\text{ sec}} \][/tex]
Here is how we fill the blanks step by step:
[tex]\[ \frac{55 \text{ km}}{1 \text{ hour}} \times \frac{1000 \text{ meters}}{1 \text{ km}} \times \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{60 \text{ min}} \times \frac{1 \text{ min}}{60 \text{ sec}} \approx 15.28 \frac{\text{ meters}}{\text{ sec}} \][/tex]
This completes the conversion by using the appropriate conversion factors.
