Evelyn walked to the store a distance of 1.6 km in 30 min. What is her average speed in m/s?

Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Average speed = (1.6 km) / (30 min)

Average speed = 0.0533 km/min

This is the true average speed, but it's not in the units that the question asked for.  So we have to massage it and convert it to ' meters/sec '.

Speed = (1.6 km) / (30 min)

Speed = (1.6 km / 30 min) x (1,000 m / 1 km) x (1 min / 60 sec)

Speed = (1.6 x 1,000 x 1) / (30 x 1 x 60) (km-m-min / min-km-sec)

Speed = (1,600 / 1,800) (m / sec)

Speed = 0.89 m/s    

0.93xc=0.93x3x10^8m/s

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
