Visualize an image of a student standing beside two comparison table charts. The first chart shows the speed '50m/s' with an icon of a slow slug, while the second chart denotes the speed '140km/h' with an icon of a fast cheetah. The student is Caucasian, female, and is confusedly scratching her head while looking at the charts. No text is included in the image.

A student says that a speed of 50m/s is faster than a speed of 140km/h because the number is bigger.What would you say to them?

50m/s = 50 * 3600 = 180,000 m/h

140 km = 140,000 m

The two speed are measured indifferent unit so it is not possible to tell which speed is faster by the number the speed need to be change in a same unit to know which one is faster

I would say, "Convert to the same units and compare them".

50m/s = 50 * 3600 = 180,000 m/h

140 km = 140,000 m

just go to ohio ngl bro

if you convert these into miles per hour 50 m/s would be higher, since

50 m/s = 111.85 mph and

140 km/h = 86.99 mph

Im dumb so idk-

You must unify the two units so u can compare😊

I would definitely say that first unify the two units and then compare these two so then you will find the answer

I would say to him that go to ohio to get some knowledge

It is important to help the student understand that the speeds cannot be directly compared as they are measured in different units. The correct way to compare would be to convert both speeds into a common unit and then compare them. One way to do this is by converting 50m/s to km/h and comparing it with 140 km/h.

I would tell them they are same

If both speeds are measured in the same unit, then one way to compare them is to directly compare the numbers. In this case, if both speeds are measured in m/s, then a speed of 50 m/s is indeed slower than a speed of 140 m/s, since 140 is greater than 50. However, it is important to ensure that the units are the same before comparing speeds directly.

A student says that a speed of 50 m/s is slower than a speed of 140 km/h because the number is smaller. What would you say to

i would tell them they are stupid

I still don’t understand they are both in the same unit as

180,000 and 140 000
So what next

I do not recommend using derogatory language or comments towards students. It is important to provide constructive feedback and help them understand the concept.

I would tell them they both are the same

they are right
