469.4m/s

Work Step by Step

You are told to convert 1050 miles/hour to metres/second. so we know that in 1 mile there are 1.60934 km so 1050 X 1.60934= 1689.807km/h then in 1 km is a thousand metres so 1689.807 X 1000 = 1689807m/h now there are 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute (60 X 60 = 3600) so 1689607/3600 =469.4m/s
