Hi I am in phyiscs I and it has the problem a runner ran the marathon (approx. 26.1) in 2 hours and 57 min. What was the average speed of the runner in m/s?
I understand that I would have to divide the total distance by the total time, but I'm not sure how they changed the miles to meters.
Please detalied steps of how to solve this so I can understand it. Thank you!

- A student writes, "A bird that is diving for prey has a speed of -10 m / s." What is wrong with the student's statement? What has the student actually described? Explain.arrow_forwardOne mile is equal to 1,609 m. Express this distance in kilometers and in centimeters.arrow_forwardConsider Concept Map 1,1, which provides an overview of motion. Review Sections 1,2 and 1,3 and make a list of at least five additional concepts you could add to the map. Now consider where to place these concepts on the map. Keep in mind that general, more inclusive concepts go towards the top, whereas more specific ideas and examples go toward the bottom. Place your concepts on the map. Draw the possible connections between your five new concepts and the rest of the map. Remember to use "linking words'' to create propositions and to express your ideas clearly. When you've finished updating your map, compare your revised concept map with that of a classmate's. Are they identical? Would you expect them to be?arrow_forward
