Problema Solution
A Martian spaceship travels at a speed of 427 googs/mulm. There are 3.54 googs in a meter and 7200 mulms in an hour. What is the speed of the spaceship in kilometers per second?
Answer provided by our tutors
3.54 googs = 1 meter divide both sides by 3.54
1 goog = 1/3.54 meters = (1/3.54)(1/1000) km
7200 mulms = 1 hour divide both sides by 7200
1 mulm = 1/7200 hours = 60*60/7200 sec = 2 sec
427 googs/mulm = 427*(1/3.54)(1/1000)(1/2) km/s = 0.06031 km/s
