The ×3.6 bridge
Two speeds rule the road: physics thinks in , road signs shout in . The bridge between them is exact: an hour is 3600 s and a kilometre is 1000 m, and 3600/1000 = 3.6. So — m/s to km/h multiplies by 3.6, km/h to m/s divides.
The rule that saves marks: convert BEFORE the sockets. A formula's units only cancel when every input agrees, and a km/h number dropped into an m-and-s machine is the single most common exam wound. From here on, some questions hand you the wrong flavour on purpose.
