How do I convert 112km/h/min to ms^2?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You have 3600 [itex]\frac s {hr} [/tex] and 60 [itex]\frac s {min}[/itex]<br /> <br /> Do the algebra.[/itex]
 
I have had a go at trying to work this out but not sure if my answer is correct. I got a result of 0.5183ms-2. Is this right?
 
From km/h to m/s you multiply by 1000 and divide by 3600, from m/s to km/h you multiply by 3.6 (3600/1000).

It looks more to me like 0.5185m/s^2, but yes, you have the right idea.
