A cyclist rides her bike at a speed of 18 km/h what is the speed in meters per second? How many meters will the cyclist travel in 10 seconds?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The speed  is:

5 meters per second

In then seconds: 50 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour = 3600 seconds

1 km = 1000 meters

18km = 18*1000 = 18000 meters

then:

18km/h = 18000m/3600sec = 5m/s

The speed is:

5 meters per second

proportions:

5 meters ⇔ 1 second

W meters ⇔ 10 seconds

W = 5*10/1

W = 50 meters
