Converting from Hours per kilometer (h/km) to Meter per second (m/s) in Speed

What is Hours per kilometer (h/km)

Hours per kilometer (h/km) is a unit of speed that represents how many hours it takes to travel one kilometer. It is commonly used in transportation and sports to measure the time taken to cover a distance of one kilometer.

What is Meter per second (m/s)

Meter per second (m/s) is a unit of speed that represents the distance traveled in meters in one second. It is the standard unit for speed in the International System of Units (SI) and is widely used in various scientific and engineering fields.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from hours per kilometer (h/km) to meters per second (m/s), you can use the following formula:

m/s=h/km1​×0.2777778

To convert from meters per second (m/s) to hours per kilometer (h/km), you can use the formula:

h/km=m/s1​×0.2777778

Examples

1. Converting 9 (h/km) to m/s:

m/s=91​×0.2777778

m/s≈0.0308642

2. Converting 17 (m/s) to h/km:

h/km=171​×0.2777778

h/km≈0.01633987

Remember to use these conversion formulas whenever you need to switch between these two units of speed.
