Accepted Answer

Welcome back everybody. We are tasked with expressing this value right here, using only standard international units. Now, if we're dealing with a length and a time S. I. Units say that this should really be in meters per second, so that's what we want to convert this value to. So let's go ahead and do that here. We have 74 ft in one day and we know that there are 3.28 ft in one m. So these units will cancel out in one day. We have 24 hours and in one hour we have 3600 seconds. So then these units cancel out and as you can see, we're left with meters per second. Now multiplying straight across, then we get 2.61 times 10 to the negative fourth meters per second, which corresponds to our final answer choice of B. Thank you all so much for watching. Hope this video helped. We will see you all in the next one.
