SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the interpretation of the unit "km/hr•s" in the context of car acceleration. It is definitively established that this unit should be read as kilometers per hour per second (km/h/s). Additionally, the conversion of this unit into kilometers per second squared (km/s²) is implied as a necessary calculation for understanding acceleration metrics in automotive contexts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics concepts related to acceleration
  • Familiarity with unit conversions in metric systems
  • Knowledge of automotive performance metrics
  • Basic mathematical skills for unit conversion
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of acceleration in physics
  • Learn about unit conversion techniques for metric measurements
  • Explore automotive performance metrics and their implications
  • Study the relationship between different units of acceleration, such as km/h/s and km/s²
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, automotive engineers, and anyone interested in understanding vehicle acceleration metrics and unit conversions.

km/hr•s

This is a car accelerating. Also, how would I convert it into km/s^2?

It should be read as km per hour per second.

Thank you that's all I needed.
