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 .
