kilometers. How fast is the train moving in meters per second?
m/s​

Answer 1

Answer:

The train is moving at the speed of 22.36 meters per second

Explanation:

Speed of the train  = 50 .0 miles/hour

1 mile = 1.61 km

50 miles = $50.0\times 1.61 km=80.5 km$

1 km = 1000 m

1 hour = 3600 seconds

So,the speed of the train in meter per seconds:

$=\frac{80.5\times 1000 m}{3600 s}=22.36 m/s$
