Question

An object is moving at a speed of 7 feet per miute, Express this speed in meters per

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

if I understand correctly, then it moves at 7 feet per minute.

and we need this in meters per second.

one thing we all know, right ?

there are 60 seconds in 1 minute.

so, in other words it is moving at 7 ft / 60 seconds.

so, that is how far in 1 second ?

7/60 ft / 1 second.

now for the second part : meters.

1 ft = 0.3048 meters

7 ft = 2.1336 meters

7/60 ft = 2.1336/60 = 0.03556 meters

so, the object moves at 0.03556 m/s ≈ 0.04 m/s
