In an experiment you are performing, your lab partner has measured the distance a cart has traveled: 28.4inch. you need the distance in units of centimeter and you know the unit equality 1inch = 2.54 centimeter. by which conversion factor will you multiply 28.4 inch in order to perform the unit conversion?

To solve this problem we will apply the concept designed to generate the conversion from one unit to another. Basically, what is sought is to eliminate the units of the denominator and the numerator of the conversion factor and the unit to be converted respectively, leaving the units of the new unit. In mathematical terms this is,

If we want to convert 28.4in then the conversion factor versus the unit would be

Therefore the factor of conversion will be 2.54 and the final units for the value given is 72.136cm

energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical or physical means. do not understand what you are asking but hope this
