To find the speed, we will use the formula: Speed = Distance / Time
Given:
- Distance = 1440 km
- Time = 2 hours
First, calculate the speed in km/h:
Speed = 1440 km / 2 hours = 720 km/h
Now, convert the speed from km/h to m/s:
1 km = 1000 meters
1 hour = 3600 seconds
Therefore, to convert km/h to m/s, multiply by 1000/3600 (which simplifies to 5/18):
Speed in m/s = 720 km/h * (5/18)
Speed in m/s = 720 * (5/18) = 200 m/s
Therefore, the person's speed is 720 km/h or 200 m/s.
