1
New cards

1 m/s = how many km/h?

3.6 km/h

2
New cards

3.6 km/h = how many m/s?

1 m/s

3
New cards

What number links m/s and km/h?

3.6

4
New cards

How do you convert km/h to m/s?

Divide by 3.6

5
New cards

How do you convert m/s to km/h?

Multiply by 3.6

6
New cards

m/s × 3.6 gives you what?

km/h

7
New cards

km/h ÷ 3.6 gives you what?

m/s

8
New cards

Fill in the blank: 1 m/s = ____ km/h

3.6

9
New cards

Fill in the blank: km/h ÷ ____ = m/s

3.6

10
New cards

Fill in the blank: m/s × ____ = km/h

3.6

11
New cards

Fill in the blank: km/h ÷ 3.6 = ____

m/s

12
New cards

Fill in the blank: m/s × 3.6 = ____

km/h

13
New cards

Going from m/s to km/h — multiply or divide?

Multiply by 3.6

14
New cards

Going from km/h to m/s — multiply or divide?

Divide by 3.6

15
New cards

Which is the bigger number for the same speed, m/s or km/h?

km/h. 1 m/s is 3.6 km/h, so the km/h figure is always larger.

16
New cards

If your answer in km/h came out smaller than the m/s figure, what went wrong?

You divided when you should have multiplied. km/h is always the bigger number.

17
New cards

A speed converts from 10 to 36. Which way did it go?

m/s to km/h — the number got bigger, so it was multiplied by 3.6.

18
New cards

Where does the number 3.6 come from?

1 km = 1,000 m and 1 hour = 3,600 s. So 1 m/s = 3,600 ÷ 1,000 = 3.6 km/h.

19
New cards

If you forget 3.6, how can you rebuild it?

Divide 3,600 seconds in an hour by 1,000 meters in a kilometer.

20
New cards

Which two conversions combine to make the m/s to km/h rule?

1 km = 1,000 m and 1 hour = 3,600 seconds.

21
New cards

Convert 10 m/s to km/h.

36 km/h

22
New cards

Convert 5 m/s to km/h.

18 km/h

23
New cards

Convert 20 m/s to km/h.

72 km/h

24
New cards

Convert 25 m/s to km/h.

90 km/h

25
New cards

Convert 100 m/s to km/h.

360 km/h

26
New cards

Convert 36 km/h to m/s.

10 m/s

27
New cards

Convert 72 km/h to m/s.

20 m/s

28
New cards

Convert 90 km/h to m/s.

25 m/s

29
New cards

Convert 18 km/h to m/s.

5 m/s

30
New cards

Convert 108 km/h to m/s.

30 m/s

31
New cards

Roughly how fast is 1 m/s in everyday terms?

About walking pace — a bit under 4 km/h.

32
New cards

A car doing 100 km/h is roughly how many m/s?

About 28 m/s. 100 ÷ 3.6 ≈ 27.8

33
New cards

Why do speed conversions matter in physics problems?

The formula v = d / t needs distance and time in matching units, so speeds often have to be converted first.

34
New cards

State both speed conversion rules.

m/s × 3.6 = km/h · km/h ÷ 3.6 = m/s
