Convert mile / square second to galileo

Learn how to convert 1 mile / square second to galileo step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{m i l e}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = x (g a l i l e o)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{m i l e}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = 1609.344 (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = 1609.344 (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Right side: 1.0 (g a l i l e o) = 10^{- 2} (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = 10^{- 2} (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{m i l e}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = x (g a l i l e o)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1609.344 \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = x \times 10^{- 2} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot 1609.344 \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \cdot 10^{- 2} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1609.344 \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \times 10^{- 2} \times (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Conversion Equation

1609.344 = x \times 10^{- 2}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{- 2} = 1609.344

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}})

x \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} = 1609.344 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} = 1609.344 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}}

Simplify

x = \frac{1609.344}{10^{- 2}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} can be rewritten to 10^{2}

Rewrite

x = 10^{2} \times 1609.344

Solve

x

x = 160934.4 \approx 1.6093 \times 10^{5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{m i l e}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) \approx 1.6093 \times 10^{5} (g a l i l e o)
