How many meters per second at 60 km/h?
1 Answers
One kilometer equals 1000 meters, so 60 kilometers equals 60000 meters. One hour equals 60 minutes or 3600 seconds. Therefore, traveling 60000 meters divided by 3600 seconds equals 16.7 meters per second, approximately 17 meters. Maintaining a steady speed between 60-90 km/h is most fuel-efficient: When driving, using the highest gear and maintaining the economical speed results in minimal wear and the best fuel efficiency. For most manual transmission vehicles, the economical speed is typically between 60-90 km/h. Rapid acceleration consumes more fuel than gradual acceleration: During rapid acceleration, the fuel supply system suddenly increases the fuel delivery, causing the fuel-air mixture to become richer. This leads to incomplete combustion, resulting in fuel waste, and increases tire wear by 70 times. Sudden deceleration usually requires stronger braking, demanding more kinetic energy from the vehicle to achieve rapid deceleration or stopping. Re-accelerating or restarting not only wastes time but also consumes additional fuel.
