Unit Information
Meter per Second (m/s)
The SI derived unit of speed or velocity.
System: SI
Kilometer per Hour (km/h)
A common metric unit of speed, equal to the speed of an object traveling 1 kilometer in 1 hour.
System: Metric
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Meter per Second as the base unit. We'll first convert Meter per Second to Meter per Second, then convert from Meter per Second to Kilometer per Hour.
Step 1: Convert from Meter per Second to Meter per Second
1 × 1 = 1
Result: 1 Meter per Second
Step 2: Convert from Meter per Second to Kilometer per Hour
1 × 3.6 = 3.6
Result: 3.6 Kilometer per Hour
Direct Conversion Factor
1 × 3.6 = 3.6
Direct conversion: 1 Meter per Second = 3.6 Kilometer per Hour
Meter per Second (m/s)
System: SI
Definition:Speed is defined as the rate of change of position. 1 m/s is the speed of an object traveling 1 meter in 1 second.
Origin: Derived from the SI base units of length (meter) and time (second).
Common Usage: Used in physics, engineering, and for measurements where SI units are standard.
Synonyms: mps, m/s
