How do you convert km/h to m/s?

Jasmine Grover

The SI unit of distance is meter and time is measured in seconds according to the International System of Units.

1 hour = 60 min
1 min = 60 sec
Therefore, 1 hour = 60 x 60 = 3600 seconds

Also, 1 km = 1000 m

Therefore, 1 km/hr = 1000/3600 m/s

km/h to m/s conversion

To convert km/h to m/s, divide the speed in km/h by 3.6. The formula is:

1 m/s = 3.6 km/h

Or, to convert km/h to m/s, we multiply the given quantity by 5/18 m/s.

For example, if you want to convert 60 km/h to m/s:

60 km/h = 60 x 5/18 m/s

So, 60 km/h is equivalent to 16.67 m/s.
