To convert the speed of a train from kilometers per hour (km/hr) to meters per second (m/s), we need to apply a conversion factor.
1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters, and 1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds.
So, the conversion factor is:
1 km/hr = (1000 m) / (3600 s)
Now, let's calculate the speed of the train in m/s:
Speed in m/s = (Speed in km/hr) * (Conversion factor)
Speed in m/s = 36 km/hr * (1000 m) / (3600 s)
Speed in m/s = 36 * 1000 / 3600
Speed in m/s ≈ 10 m/s (rounded to the nearest whole number)
Therefore, the speed of the train is approximately 10 m/s.
