Question

These conversion rates will be useful in the following question:

1.609 km 1 mile: 1 kg = 2.2lbs;

60 seconds = 1 minute. 60 minutes equals 1-hour.

So 60 x 60, or 3600 seconds = 1-hour

1000g = 1 kg; 100 cm = 1 m; 100cm x 100cm = 1 m x 1 m, so that 10000 square centir In a similar way 1 cubic metre equals 100 cm x 100cm x 100cm.

1 million square centimetres = 1 cubic metre

or 10° centimetres squared = 1 cubic metre

 

(a) Convert 85 km per hour to metres per second.

(b) Convert 10 m per second to kilometres per hour.

(c) Convert 61 pence per centimetre into pounds per metre.

(d) Convert a density of 6500 kg per cubic metre into grams per cubic centimetre.

(e) Convert a particle's velocity of 2.70 metres per second into kilometres per hour.

(f) Convert a particle's acceleration of 0.605 metres per seconds squared into kilometres per hours squared.
