About m/s to km/h
Convert m/s to km/h instantly, with a reference table of common values. The factor is exact: 1 m/s = 3.599999712 km/h.
A physics-to-everyday conversion: scientific and engineering work uses metres per second, while road speeds and weather reports use kilometres per hour.
Metres per second is the SI unit of speed, derived directly from the two base units of length and time without any additional scaling factor. It is the standard in physics and engineering, and in scientific meteorology for wind speed. Almost every physics formula involving velocity expects it. Sound travels at about 343 m/s in air, and light at 299,792,458 m/s exactly.
Worked through with real numbers: 10 m/s is 36 km/h, 50 m/s is 180 km/h, 100 m/s is 360 km/h.
As for the other side of the conversion: A brisk walk is about 5 km/h, and typical motorway limits sit between 100 and 130 km/h.
Every speed unit is a distance divided by a time, so converting between them means converting the distance and the time together. That is why the factors are less memorable than simple length conversions.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert m/s to km/h?
Multiply your m/s figure by 3.599999712 to get km/h โ or type a value above and read the answer straight off.
How many km/h are in one m/?
1 m/s = 3.599999712 km/h.
When would I need to convert m/s to km/h?
A physics-to-everyday conversion: scientific and engineering work uses metres per second, while road speeds and weather reports use kilometres per hour.
What is a m/, exactly?
Metres per second is the SI unit of speed, derived directly from the two base units of length and time without any additional scaling factor. Sound travels at about 343 m/s in air, and light at 299,792,458 m/s exactly.
Where is the km/h actually used?
It is the speed unit on road signs and vehicle speedometers in most of the world. A brisk walk is about 5 km/h, and typical motorway limits sit between 100 and 130 km/h.
Is there anything tricky about speed conversions?
Every speed unit is a distance divided by a time, so converting between them means converting the distance and the time together. That is why the factors are less memorable than simple length conversions.
Is this converter accurate?
Yes. It uses the exact standard factor of 1 m/s = 3.599999712 km/h, and the conversion runs in your browser so nothing is uploaded.
