How to translate meters per second in kilometers per hour?
For any person measuring the speed of movementIt is more customary to produce in kilometers per hour (km / h). But according to the international system of SI units (the most common at the moment), the basic units for measuring distance and time are the meter and second, respectively. Hence, the speed measurement is carried out in meters per second (m / s).
Depending on the situation, moreit can be convenient as a measurement in km / h (the speed of the car, since the distance is considered kilometers, and the time by the hours), and m / s (wind speed, experiments).
To translate the value from m / s in km / h, multiply the value by m / s by 3.6. For the reverse action, respectively, divide km / h by 3.6. Therefore, 1 m / s = 3.6 km / h.
Take for example a few of the most popular values:
- 60 km / h = 16.67 m / s - the permitted speed of the car in the village
- 3 * 108 m / s = 10.8 * 108 km / h - speed of light
- 5 km / h = 1.39 m / s - average pedestrian speed
