  1. explanation

    speed=60 x (5/18)meter/sec= 50/3 meter/sec

    length=speed x time= 50/3 x 9= 150 meters

    Why we are multiplying the 60 with 5/18?

    The answer is simple. We are converting the 'kilo-meters/hour' value into 'meters/second'.

    Let me explain about converting km/hr into m/s in detail.

    1 km = 1000 meters.
    1 hr = 3600 seconds.

    1 km/hr = 1000/3600 m/s

    = 10/36 m/s

    = 5/18 m/s.

    Therefore 1 km/hr = 5/18 m/sec.

    Similarly 60 km/hr = 60 x 5/18 m/sec.
