Converting from Seconds per kilometer (s/km) to Meter per second (m/s)

What is Seconds per kilometer (s/km)

Seconds per kilometer (s/km) is a unit of speed measurement that indicates the time in seconds it takes to cover a distance of one kilometer. It is commonly used in sports and athletic training to evaluate running or cycling speeds.

What is Meter per second (m/s)

Meter per second (m/s) is the standard unit of speed in the International System of Units (SI). It represents the distance in meters traveled in one second. This unit is widely used in physics, engineering, and everyday life to quantify speed.

Conversion Formulas

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

m/s=s/km1​×1000

Similarly, to convert from meter per second (m/s) to seconds per kilometer (s/km):

s/km=m/s1​×1000

Examples

1. Converting 8 s/km to m/s:

m/s=81​×1000=125

Therefore, 8 s/km is equal to 125 m/s.

2. Converting 5 m/s to s/km:

s/km=51​×1000=200

Hence, 5 m/s is equivalent to 200 s/km.

3. For the default conversion of 1 s/km to m/s:

m/s=11​×1000=1000

This confirms that 1 s/km equals 1000 m/s.
