pssst hey you missed the conversion from seconds to hours, your answers are in kilometres/miles per second and need to be another 3600 times larger.

[โ€“] neumast@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Are you sure about that? From m/s to km/h you multiply by 3600 (for the time) and divide by 1000 (for the distance) which leads to a factor of 3.6.

Personally i always remember 25 m/s = 90 km/h = 56 mph because of the somewhat round numbers.
