Unit Conversion Guide: Distance & Time

The document provides basic unit conversions for distance and time, including conversions between kilometers and meters, as well as hours, minutes, and seconds. It defines velocity as speed in a given direction and highlights the key difference between speed (scalar) and velocity (vector). An example of velocity is given with a car traveling at 30 km/h toward the north.

Conversion of Units

Basic unit conversion of distance Basic unit conversion of time

1 km = 1000 m 1 h = 60 min
2 km = 2000 m
100 km = 100 X 1000 m = 100 000 m
1 min = 60 s
1 h = 3600 s

1m = 1/1000 km = 0.001 km 1 h = 60 min


2 m = 0.002 km 0.25 h = ¼ h = 15 min
20 m = 20 X 0.001= 0.02 km 0.50 h = ½ h = 30 min
200 m = 200 X 0.001 = 0.2 km 0.75 h = ¾ h = 45 min
2000 m = 2000 X 0.001 = 2 km
Conversion of units of speed m/s km/h

What is Velocity?

•Definition: Velocity is speed in a given direction.

Formula:
v

•Example: A car is traveling at a velocity of 30 km/h toward the north.

Key Difference:
Speed is scalar, velocity is vector.
Speed VS Velocity
