Answer:

A ratio of equivalent units

Explanation:

A conversion factor is a ratio of equivalent units and depends on which units are to be converted.

For example we want to convert 275 [mm] to inches, so we have to find the right conversion factor to allow us to work that conversion.

275 [mm] = inches = ?

$275 [mm] * \frac{1in}{25.4mm} = 10.82 [in]$

In this case the ratio is 1/25.4 = 0.039 [in/mm]

I'm not really sure how to go about creating the equation, can anyone help me?

AlexFokin [52]

The displacement vector (SI units) is
$\vec{r} =At\hat{i}+A[t^{3}-6t^{2}]\hat{j}$

The speed is a scalar quantity. Its magnitude is
$v= \sqrt{A^{2}t^{2}+A^{2}(t^{3}-6t^{2})^{2}} \\ v=A \sqrt{t^{2}+t^{6}-12t^{5}+36t^{4}} \\ v=At \sqrt{t^{4}-12t^{3}+36t^{2}+1}$

Answer: At√(t⁴ - 12t³ + 36t² + 1)
