A cyclist rides her bike at a speed of 36 kilometers per hour. What is this speed in meters per second? How many meters will the cyclist travel in 5 seconds? Do not round your answers.

Given that speed of the cyclist = 36 kilometers per hour.

Now question says to find the speed in meters per second.

We know that 1 kilometer = 1000 meter

and 1 hour = 3600 seconds

so to convert 36 kilometers per hour into meter per second, we will multiply 36 by 1000/3600

36*1000/3600

=36*10/36

=10

Hence final answer is speed = 10 meters per second.

That 10 meters per second means cyclist will travel 10 meters in 1 second.

Now to find distance travelled in 5 seconds, we just need to multiply 10 and 5

So the final answer will be 10*5 or 50 meters.
