SI units — practice question

For a vehicle travelling at speed $v$, if a constant braking force is exerted, the distance $d$ travelled as it comes to rest is described by $d = kv^2$, where $k$ is a constant. If $d$ is given in metres and $v$ is given in metres per second, the constant takes the value $k_1$. When the distance is measured in metres and the speed is measured in kilometres per hour, what is the value of the constant?

  • A$0.0772k_1$
  • B$0.278k_1$
  • C$3.60k_1$
  • D$13.0k_1$
