Constant Velocity
Quantities of Constant Velocity Calculus
The quantities of constant velocity calculus are shown in the Table 1.
The SI unit of velocity is formed from meter divided by second [m/s].
The SI unit of distance is meter and of time is second. In everyday life widely is
used unit km/h, meaning kilometer per hour. A conversion factor is formed
between km/h and m/s, 1 m/s = 3,6 km/h. This comes from idea that in kilometer
there is thousand meters and in hour there is 3600 seconds. Thus for example velocity
36 km/h = 10 m/s. In everyday life we can use unit km/h but for calculus we often
have to change the units into SI-units. In everyday life there are many units that are not
involved in SI-units, for example in the world is widely used unit MPH, miles per hour.
Also for these units there are conversion factors and conversion calculators
that can be used to transfer these units into SI units to be used with
calculus.
In matters of constant velocity, the prefix kilo, which is a thousand, is used a lot. So one
kilometer is 1000 m and 1 km/h is 1000 m/h.
