------l---------l-------l---------
1h l 1 km l 60min l 60 sec
i don't have a calculator, but you would multiply 302 by 1000, then divide by 60, then again divide by 60, that will convert 302 km.hour to meters/sec and you can just compare them
it would make more sence of you got a calculator
To compare the speeds, let's convert both measurements to meters per second.
For the fastest measured speed of a ball in Jai-Alai:
302 km/hour can be converted to meters per second by:
302 km/hour * 1000 m/km * 1 hour/60 minutes * 1 minute/60 seconds.
Simplifying the conversion:
302 km/hour * 1000/60/60 = 302,000/3600 = 83.89 m/s (rounded to two decimal places).
For the fastest recorded serve in men's tennis:
67.9 meters/second is already in meters per second, so no conversion is necessary.
Comparing the two speeds:
The speed of 83.89 m/s in Jai-Alai is faster than 67.9 m/s in men's tennis.
