AI Thread Summary
To convert 1.13 x 10^5 km/h² to m/s², it is essential to address the units correctly, particularly the h². The conversion involves recognizing that 1 hour equals 3600 seconds, which affects both the numerator and denominator. The correct conversion process requires multiplying by the appropriate factors to change hours to seconds, specifically using 1 hr² = (3600 sec)². The final conversion should yield the result in m/s². Understanding unit conversions is crucial for accurate calculations in physics.

Never mind I think I've figured it out anyway
 
Well in case you still didn't get it:

\frac{1}{hr^2} * \frac{1 hr}{3600 sec}

If you post help, please get it right, should read:

\frac{1}{hr^2} * \frac{1 hr^2}{3600 sec^2}
