kph to m/s Converter

Formula:

The formula to convert speed from kilometer/hour to meter/second is:

Speed_{(meter/second)} = Speed_{(kilometer/hour)} / 3.6

Problem at hand:

We need to convert given speed of 1 kilometer/hour to meter/second.

Given:

The given speed value is

Speed_{(Kilometer/hour)} = 1

Substitution:

Substitute Speed_{(kilometer/hour)} = 1 in the conversion formula.

Speed_{(meter/second)} = Speed_{(kilometer/hour)} / 3.6

Speed_{(meter/second)} = 1 / 3.6

Simplification:

Solving the right-hand side value.

Speed_{(Meter/second)} = 0.2778

Conclusion:

Therefore, given speed of 1 kilometer/hour is equal to 0.2778 meter/second.
