The average speed of a snail is 0.020 miles/hour and that of a
leopard is 70 miles/hour. Convert these speeds in SI units.
Answer :
The SI unit for distance is meter (m) and that for time is seconds (s), so the SI unit of speed will be ms-1.
1 mile = 1.6 km = 1600 m
1 hour = 60 mins = 60 × 60 seconds = 3600 seconds (1 min has 60 seconds)
For the snail –
Speed = 0.02 miles / hour
Converting into SI units
=0.0089 ms-1
For the cheetah –
Speed = 70 miles/hour
Converting into SI units
=31.12 ms-1
