km/h to m/s – kilometres per hour to metres per second – online

Speed ​​in kilometres per hour (km/h, km h^-1):

Result in metres per second (m/s, m s^-1):

m/s to km/h

How to convert speed from kilometres per hour to speed in metres per second?

1 km/h ≈ 0.278 m/s

Metres per second (UK) = m/s = m s^-1 = m•s^-1 = meters per second (US) = mps 

Kilometres per hour (UK) = km/h = km h^-1 = km•h^-1 = kilometers per hour (US) = kph

Speed ​​in metres per second is equal to speed in kilometres per hour divided by 3.6.

Formulas:

metres per second = kilometres per hour / 3.6

(m/s)= (km/h) / 3.6

m•s^-1 = km•h^-1 / 3.6

υ_m/s =υ_km/h / 3.6

υ_m/s – speed in metres per second;

υ_km/h – speed in kilometres per hour.

For example:

Convert speed 36 km/h to m/s.

Solution: υ_m/s = υ_km/h / 3.6 = 36 / 3.6 = 10 m/s. Answer: 36 km/h = 10 m/s.

Convert speed 54 km/h to m/s.

Solution: (m/s)= (km/h) / 3.6 = 54 / 3.6 = 15 m/s. Answer: 54 km/h = 15 m/s

Convert speed 72 km•h^-1 to m•s^-1.

Solution: m•s^-1 = km•h^-1 / 3.6 = 72 / 3.6 = 20 m•s^-1. Answer: 72 km•h^-1 = 20 m•s^-1
