Speed:
How fast something is moving

Average speed
total distance divided
by total time
Steady speed
Traveling at a constant speed

Converting 
km/h <-> m/s 

Slide 12 - Slide

Converting m/s to km/h​
1m/s is how many km/h?​

1m/1s = 0.001km/1:3600h​= 3.6km/1h​
So 1m/s = 3.6 km/h​



Slide 13 - Slide

Converting km/h to m/s​
1km/h is how many m/s
1km/1h =1000m/3600s​​
1km/h = 1000:1000 m/3600:1000 s​​
1km/h = 1 / 3.6 m/s
So 1km/h = 1/3.6 m/s​








Slide 14 - Slide

Exercise
  • A car travels 72km/h. What is that in m/s?
  • A cyclist travels 7 m/s. What is that in km/h?

Slide 15 - Slide

Exercise
  • A car travels 72km/h. What is that in m/s?



72: 3.6 = 20 m/s

Slide 16 - Slide

Exercise
  • A cyclist travels 7 m/s. What is that in km/h?


7* 3.6 = 25.2 km/h

Slide 17 - Slide

km/h —> m/s
The speed : 3.6

m/s —> km/h
The speed x 3.6

Slide 18 - Slide

Exercise
Convert a speed of 38 km/h to m/s
Convert a speed of 1.5 m/s to km/h

38:3.6= 10.56 m/s
1.5* 3.6 = 5.4 km/h

Slide 19 - Slide

Exercise
Convert a speed of 38 km/h to m/s      =      10.55 m/s
Convert a speed of 1.5 m/s to km/h      =      5.4 km/h
km/h —> m/s
The speed x 1000/3600

m/s —> km/h
The speed x 3600/1000
