If a nerve cell travels 100 meters per second and a car travels at 88.5 kilometers a hour which is faster?
Convert this to a common unit. For example, to convert meters per second to km/hour, multiply by 3.6.Convert this to a common unit.

What do you get when you multiply meters per second by kilograms?
(kilograms) x (meters per second)That's a (mass) multiplied by a (speed), which is a unit of [momentum] ... kilogram-meter per second.
Why is acceleration often expressed with units of meters per second squared?
Because if speed is measured in meters per second (m/s) and time is measured in seconds, the SI unit of acceleration is meters per second per second (m/s2). ^_^
What are the units of acceleration?
Acceleration is a change in velocity per unit of time. Velocity is distance (d) per unit of time (t). That makes acceleration distance per unit of time squared, or something like this:We have distance/time2, or d/t2Distance is commonly measured in meters, and time in seconds. This makes acceleration appear in meters per second per second, or meters per second squared, or m/sec2.m/s2meters per second squared
Why are the units for acceleration meters per second?
Acceleration is not measured in meters/second. Meters/second is a unit of speed. Since acceleration is defined as change of speed divided by time, the units are meters/second/second, usually written as meters/second2.
What is the Si Base Unit for velocity?
meters per second (m/s)
What is si base unit for momentum?
The SI unit of Momentum is kilogram meters per second --> (kg*m)/s
What unit would you get if you divide meters per second by meters?
The meters cancel, so you get "per second", or "1/second". That unit has the special name hertz. It is a unit of frequency.
What is the SI unit of mph?
The SI unit for speed is meters per second.
What is the SI unit for tangential speed?
meters per second
What is the speed in meters per second?
meters is the distance traveled per unit time per second. Mileage = meters Time = seconds
Define acceleration and give an appropiate corresponding unit of measurement?
Acceleration is change of velocity per time unit; the SI unit is meters per second per second, usually abbreviated as "meters per square second".
What is expressed in meters per second per second?
It is acceleration that is measured in distance per unit of time per unit time, or in meters per second per second, as the question asked. The only thing missing is the direction vector.
What is the SI unit for constant speed?
There is no "unit for constant speed".The SI unit for speed (just "speed") is meters per second. Constant speed means there is no acceleration; the unit for acceleration is meters per second squared.
What unit is a wave's velocity measured in?
Meters per second
What is mks unit of velocity?
Meters per second.
Common unit is meters per second for what?
speed
