Both km/h and m/s are units of speed.
Km/h stands for kilometers per hour while m/s stands for meters per second.
Formula to convert m/s to km/h.
To convert meters per second to kilometers per hour we have to convert the meters to kilometers and then the seconds to hours
We convert m to km by dividing the meters by 1000 and to convert the seconds to hours we divide the hours by 3600.
Km/h – m/s
= 3600/1000
= 18/5 or 3.6
In conclusion we say, to convert meters per second to kilometers per second we multiply the speed in m/s by 18/5.
Speed in km/h = Speed in m/s x 18/5
Example:
Convert 50m/s to km/h.
= 50 x 18/5
= 180km/h
