How to Convert Kilometers per Hour to Meters per Second

Conversion factor:

1 km/h=0.27778 m/s1\,\text{km/h} = 0.27778\,\text{m/s}

Inverse factor:

1 m/s=3.6 km/h1\,\text{m/s} = 3.6\,\text{km/h}

Example

Convert 15 km/h to m/s:

m/s=km/h×0.27778\text{m/s} = \text{km/h} \times 0.27778
m/s=15×0.27778\text{m/s} = 15 \times 0.27778
m/s=4.16667\text{m/s} = 4.16667
=4.16667 m/s= 4.16667 \, \text{m/s}
