Conversion Definitions
The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between meters per second and kilometers per hour.
What is meters per second (m/s)?
Meters per second is a unit of Speed or Velocity in the Metric System. It measures the number of meters traveled in a second. The symbol for meters per second is m/s and the International spelling for this unit is metres per second. There are 0.2777777778 m/s in km/h.
What is kilometers per hour (km/h)?
Kilometers per hour is a unit of Speed or Velocity in the Metric System. It measures the number of kilometers traveled in an hour. The symbol for kilometers per hour is km/h and the International spelling for this unit is kilometres per hour. There are 3.6 km/h in m/s.
Conversion Formula
Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.
The formula to convert from m/s to km/h is:
km/h = m/s x 3.6
Conversion Example
Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from meters per second to kilometers per hour (m/s to km/h).
Meters per second to Kilometers per hour Conversion Example
Task: Convert 250 meters per second to kilometers per hour (show work)Formula:m/s x 3.6 = km/hCalculations:250 m/s x 3.6 = 900 km/hResult:250 m/s is equal to 900 km/h
