\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A kilometer is 1000 meters. So 0.0095 kilometers is the same thing as 9.5 meters.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then it is merely a matter of dividing 9.5 by 2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Alternatively, if you are a masochist and like to beat yourself with long decimal fractions you could say that since a kilometer is 1000 meters, 2m/s is the same thing as 0.002 km/s\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then divide 0.0095 by 0.002\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The answer is the same either way.\r
