How to convert kilometers per hour to meters per second

Worked example: 100 km/h ≈ 27.78 m/s

100 km/h ÷ 3.6 ≈ 27.78 m/s

3.6 = 3,600 s in an hour ÷ 1,000 m in a kilometer

Rule: meters per second = kilometers per hour ÷ 3.6 — exact: 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h.

FAQ

How many m/s is 1 km/h?

One kilometer per hour is about 0.28 m/s (1 km/h ≈ 0.28 m/s, more precisely ≈ 0.27778 m/s).

What is the formula to convert km/h to m/s?

To convert km/h to m/s, divide the km/h value by 3.6. For example, 100 km/h ÷ 3.6 ≈ 27.78 m/s.

Is 1 m/s equal to 3.6 km/h?

Yes, exactly: 1 m/s is defined as 3.6 km/h, since there are 3,600 seconds in an hour and 1,000 meters in a kilometer (3,600 ÷ 1,000 = 3.6). This is an exact conversion, not a rounded approximation.
