How to convert km per hour into m/s
To convert kilometers per hour (km/h) into meters per second (m/s), follow these steps:
1. Start with the value in km/h.
2. Convert kilometers to meters: 1 kilometer = 1000 meters.
3. Convert hours to seconds: 1 hour = 3600 seconds.
The formula to convert km/h to m/s is:
m/s = (km/h * 1000) / 3600
Explanation:
Multiply the speed in kilometers per hour by 1000 to convert kilometers to meters.
Divide the result by 3600 to convert hours to seconds.
Example:
If the speed is 36 km/h, the conversion would be:
m/s = (36 * 1000) / 3600
m/s = 36000 / 3600
m/s = 10 m/s
So, 36 km/h = 10 m/s.
