To convert between kilometers (km) and meters (m), we use the conversion factor:

1 \text{ km} = 1000 \text{ m}

Convert $2 \text{ km}$ to meters (m).

Multiply the value in kilometers by 1000.
$2 \text{ km} = 2 \times 1000 \text{ m} = \boxed{\text{2000 m}}$

Convert $5 \frac{1}{2} \text{ km}$ to meters (m).

Convert the mixed number to a decimal or improper fraction.
$5 \frac{1}{2} \text{ km} = 5.5 \text{ km}$
Multiply the value in kilometers by 1000.
$5.5 \text{ km} = 5.5 \times 1000 \text{ m} = \boxed{\text{5500 m}}$

Convert $8 \text{ km}$ to meters (m).

Multiply the value in kilometers by 1000.
$8 \text{ km} = 8 \times 1000 \text{ m} = \boxed{\text{8000 m}}$
