In the sections below, you will find detailed explanations and step-by-step examples for converting between different speed units.

Kilometers per Hour to Meters per Second (km/h to mps)

Formula: Meters per Second = Kilometers per Hour / 3.6

Example: Convert 60 Kilometers per Hour to Meters per Second.

Solution: 60 km/h / 3.6 ≈ 16.67 m/s

Miles per Hour to Meters per Second (mph to mps)

Formula: Meters per Second = Miles per Hour / 2.237

Example: Convert 60 Miles per Hour to Meters per Second.

Solution: 60 mph / 2.237 ≈ 26.822 m/s

Knots to Meters per Second (kn to mps)

Formula: Meters per Second = Knots / 1.944

Example: Convert 60 Knots to Meters per Second.

Solution: 60 kn / 1.944 ≈ 30.864 m/s
