Answer #1
  1. Direction means nothing in this question. The bear traveled 3 km in 0.5 hours. so that’s your speed. 3/0.5 km/h. Simplify the fraction and get 6km/h.
Answer #2
  1. Multiply the time and the speed, the units cancel.

4.8x10^-6 X 75000s = 3.6 cm

Find the total seconds in a year.

60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24 hours x 365 days = 31536000 seconds.

Multiply by the speed, the units cancel.

4.8x10^-6 X 31536000s = 1513.728 cm

Answer #3
  1. Convert 0.774 seconds to hours.

0.774s X 1/360h/s = 0.774/360 = 0.00215h

Multiply by the speed, the units cancel.

0.00215 X 60km/h = 0.129km

Convert to meters from kilometers

0.129km X 1000m/km = 129 Meters

Answer #4

always convert to m.s^-1 when working with equations of motion,
