Check Your Understanding Light navels about 9 Pm in a year. Given that a year is about 3107s , what is the speed of light in meters per second?
Roughly how many heartbeats are there in a lifetime?
In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably mole comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical Intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0m/s=3.6km/h and 1.0m/s=2.2mi/h .
A furlong is 220 yd. A fortnight is 2 weeks. Convert a speed of one furlong per fortnight to millimeters per second.
Check Your Understanding A high school track coach has just purchased a new stopwatch. The stopwatch manual states the stopwatch has an uncertainty of ±0.05 s. Runners on the track coach’s learn regularly clock 100-rn sprints of 11.49 s to 15.01 s. At the school’s last track meet, the first-place sprinter came in at 12.04 s and the second-place sprinter came in a 12.07 s. Will the coach’s new stopwatch be helpful in timing the sprint team? Why or why not?
For a given speed limit, would the numerical value be greater in mi/h or in km/h?
