![Speed=72 km/h=72×1000meters/hour =72000 meters/hour=((72000)/(3600))meters/second =20 meters per second](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q115.png)
$$\mathrm{Speed}=\mathrm{72}\:\mathrm{km}/\mathrm{h}=\mathrm{72}×\mathrm{1000meters}/\mathrm{hour} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{72000}\:\mathrm{meters}/\mathrm{hour}=\frac{\mathrm{72000}}{\mathrm{3600}}\mathrm{meters}/\mathrm{second} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{20}\:\mathrm{meters}\:\mathrm{per}\:\mathrm{second} \\ $$
