Convert Kilometers per hour to Meters per second
km/h × 0.2777778 = m/s
m/s × 3.6 = km/h
To convert kilometers per hour (km/h) to meters per second (m/s), multiply the kilometers per hour value by 0.2777778. 1 km/h = 0.2777778 m/s, and 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h. The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.
Going the other way? Convert m/s to km/h.
