A student says that a speed of 50m/s is faster than a speed of 140km/h because the number is bigger.What would you say to them?
50m/s = 50 * 3600 = 180,000 m/h
140 km = 140,000 m
The two speed are measured indifferent unit so it is not possible to tell which speed is faster by the number the speed need to be change in a same unit to know which one is faster
I would say, "Convert to the same units and compare them".
50m/s = 50 * 3600 = 180,000 m/h
140 km = 140,000 m
just go to ohio ngl bro
if you convert these into miles per hour 50 m/s would be higher, since
50 m/s = 111.85 mph and
140 km/h = 86.99 mph
