Question 398350: James and Sam went on holiday by plane. The pilot said the speed of the plane was 285 kilometres per hour. James Kilometres per hour was about the same as 80 metres per second. Was James correct? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The question is not clear, but
285 km/hr = 285000 meters/3600 seconds
=~ 79.167 km/sec
-----------------
PS The pilot would not have said that, pilots use knots for speed.
