Question

A NASA spacecraft once landed on the surface of the asteroid named 433 Eros.This asteroid is near Earth and has an average orbital speed of 24.36 kilometers per second. What is its speed in meters per second

Answer 1

Kilometers to meters is 1: 1000
Multiply 24.36 by 1000
24360 m/s is your answer.

Answer 2

The answer is : 24360 meter per second.

Explanation:

Given information is :

The asteroid is near Earth and has an average orbital speed of 24.36 kilometers per second.

Now we have to convert the speed in meter per second.

We know that 1 km = 1000 m

So, 24.36 km =
`24.36*1000=24360`

Hence, the converted unit is 24360 meter per second.
