How to Convert Meters per Second to Kilometers per Hour
Converting meters per second (m/s) to kilometers per hour (km/h) is a common conversion in speed and velocity measurements. One meter per second is equal to 3.6 kilometers per hour.
Formula
Kilometers per Hour = Meters per Second × 3.6
or
km/h = m/s × 3.6
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in meters per second
- Multiply that number by 3.6
- The result is the equivalent amount in kilometers per hour
Examples
- 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h
- 10 m/s = 36 km/h
- 0.5 m/s = 1.8 km/h
When to Convert Meters per Second to Kilometers per Hour
This conversion is useful in various fields, including automotive, sports, and transportation, where speed might be expressed in either metric or imperial units.
