it starts in km/hr and you want m/s
1km = 1000m so multiply by 1000 to lose the km units
then 1hr = 3600s so divide by 3600 to lose the hr units
km/hr * m/km = m/hr (km cancels)
m/hr * hr/s = m/s (hr cancels)
49.167m/s

1000 meters=1km
177000 meters= 177 km
There are 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute
therefore there are 3600 seconds 177000/ 3600= 49.166..7 meters per second

(177 km/hr)(1000 m/1 km)(1 hr/60 min)(1 min/ 60 sec) = 49.17 m/s.

well there both are "meteres" right the only difference is the work "kilo" in front which means thousand so theres 1000 meteres in every kilometer so you do the math now its your homework =)

177 km/h
= (177000/3600) m/s
= 49.167 m/s
