Converting from Hours per kilometer (h/km) to Seconds per kilometer (s/km) in Speed

What is Hours per kilometer (h/km)

Hours per kilometer (h/km) is a unit of speed that represents the time taken to travel one kilometer. It is expressed in hours (h) required to cover a distance of one kilometer.

What is Seconds per kilometer (s/km)

Seconds per kilometer (s/km) is another unit of speed that measures the time taken to cover one kilometer. This unit is represented in seconds (s) required to travel a distance of one kilometer.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from hours per kilometer (h/km) to seconds per kilometer (s/km), the conversion factor is 1 hour = 3600 seconds. Therefore, the formula is:

s/km=h/km×3600

Conversely, to convert from seconds per kilometer (s/km) to hours per kilometer (h/km), the formula is:

h/km=s/km×0.0002777778

Examples

1. Converting 16 h/km to s/km:

16 h/km×3600=57600 s/km

2. Converting 7 s/km to h/km:

7 s/km×0.0002777778=0.001944444 h/km

3. Converting 13 h/km to s/km:

13 h/km×3600=46800 s/km

By understanding these conversion formulas, you can easily convert between hours per kilometer and seconds per kilometer to suit your speed calculation needs.
