To convert kilometers per hour (km/h) to meters per second (m/s), you can use the following conversion factor: 1 km/h = 1000 meters3600 seconds\frac{1000\text{ meters}}{3600\text{ seconds}}3600 seconds1000 meters = 13.6\frac{1}{3.6}3.61 m/s
Conversion Formula
To convert from km/h to m/s, you can use the formula:
Speed in m/s=Speed in km/h3.6\text{Speed in m/s}=\frac{\text{Speed in km/h}}{3.6}Speed in m/s=3.6Speed in km/h
Example Calculation
If you want to convert 90 km/h to m/s:
Speed in m/s=903.6≈25 m/s\text{Speed in m/s}=\frac{90}{3.6}\approx 25\text{ m/s}Speed in m/s=3.690≈25 m/s
You can apply this formula to any speed in km/h to find its equivalent in m/s.
