To convert meters per hour (m/hr) to meters per second (m/s), we need to understand the relationship between hours and seconds.
1 hour = 3600 seconds.
Given:
\[ 1 \text{ hour} = 3600 \text{ seconds} \]
To convert from meters per hour to meters per second, we divide the speed in meters per hour by the number of seconds in an hour:
\[ \text{Speed in m/s} = \frac{\text{Speed in m/hr}}{3600} \]
Now, let's convert 730 m/hr to m/s:
\[ 730 \, \text{m/hr} \div 3600 \, \text{s/hr} = \frac{730}{3600} \, \text{m/s} \]
Let's calculate this:
\[ \frac{730}{3600} = 0.2028 \, \text{m/s} \]
So, 730 meters per hour is approximately 0.2028 meters per second.
