convert 3.8 km/sec to miles/year? 10 points for correct work and answer!?

Question

convert 3.8 km/sec to miles/year. Show all work and conversion factors. thanks 10 points for best and correct with work answer!

Answer 1

To convert km in to mile conversion factor is (1 mile /1.61 km )



To convert sec in to year conversion factor is (60 sec/1 min)*(60 min/1 hour)*(24 hour/1 day)*(365.25 day/1 year)

=(31,557,600 sec/ 1 year)



Thus convert 3.8 km/sec using conversion factors (1 mile /1.61 km ) and (31,557,600 sec/ 1 year)

(3.8 km/sec)*(1 mile /1.61 km )*(31,557,600 sec/ 1 year)

=(3.8*31,557,600/1.61 )(miles/year)

~74,483,776 miles/year



Thus 3.8 km/sec is equivalent to 74,483,776 miles/year or 7.4 *10^7 miles/year



Please rate the answer !!!!

Answer 2

Hi,



First figure out how many seconds are in a year and multiply that by 3.8 to turn it into km/year



60 sec in min



60 sec * 60 = 3600 sec in an hour



3600 sec * 24 = 86,400 sec in a day



86,400 * 365 = 31,536,000 sec in a year



The term is now 31,536,000 km/year and we need to get it to miles



1 km = .6214 miles so we must now multiply our term by .6214 to convert it to miles



31,536,000 * .6214 = 19,596,470.4



Now our term is 19,596,470.4 miles/year and thats your answer!



If you want an even more precise answer you could be more detailed and say 1 km = .621371 miles and then our final term would come out as 19,595,555.856 miles/year



I hope this helps!

btw i did assume a 365 day year

Answer 3

3.8 km/sec =>

3.8 * 3600 * 24 * 365.25 km/year =>

3.8 * 3600 * 24 * 365.25 / 1.6 miles/year =>

74949300 miles/year

Answer 4

(3.8km/sec) x (0.621371 miles/km) x (31, 556 ,926 seconds/year) = 74,512,522.93 miles/year
