The correct Answer is:
To determine which speed is greater between 36 km/hr and 10.5 m/sec, we need to convert one of the speeds so that both speeds are in the same unit. Here, we will convert 36 km/hr into meters per second (m/sec). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert 36 km/hr to m/sec**: - We know that 1 kilometer = 1000 meters and 1 hour = 3600 seconds. - To convert kilometers per hour to meters per second, we use the formula: \[ \text{Speed in m/sec} = \text{Speed in km/hr} \times \frac{1000 \text{ m}}{1 \text{ km}} \times \frac{1 \text{ hr}}{3600 \text{ sec}} \] - Applying this to our speed: \[ 36 \text{ km/hr} = 36 \times \frac{1000}{3600} \] 2. **Simplify the conversion**: - Calculate the fraction: \[ \frac{1000}{3600} = \frac{10}{36} = \frac{1}{3.6} \] - Now, multiply: \[ 36 \times \frac{10}{36} = 10 \text{ m/sec} \] 3. **Compare the two speeds**: - We now have two speeds to compare: - 10 m/sec (converted from 36 km/hr) - 10.5 m/sec (given) - Clearly, 10.5 m/sec is greater than 10 m/sec. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, 10.5 m/sec is the greater speed. ### Final Answer: The speed of 10.5 m/sec is more than the speed of 36 km/hr. ---
