Converting Seconds per Kilometer (s/km) to Speed of Sound in Air (ssia)

What is Seconds per Kilometer (s/km)

Seconds per kilometer (s/km) is a unit of speed that indicates how many seconds it takes to travel one kilometer. It is commonly used in athletics and endurance sports to provide an easy reference for pace. A lower value in s/km indicates a faster pace, meaning you can cover one kilometer in fewer seconds.

What is Speed of Sound in Air (ssia)

Speed of sound in air (ssia) refers to the speed at which sound waves travel through air at a specific temperature and pressure. The unit is usually expressed in kilometers per second (km/s), with a standard value at sea level, around 343 meters per second (m/s), or approximately 1,236 kilometers per hour (km/h). Speed of sound is influenced by factors like temperature and humidity.

Conversion Formulas

To convert between seconds per kilometer (s/km) and speed of sound in air (ssia), you can use the following conversion formulas:

• To convert from s/km to ssia:

  ssia=s/km1​×2.93867

• To convert from ssia to s/km:

  s/km=ssia1​×2.93867

Examples

1. Example 1: Convert 1 s/km to ssia.

   • Using the formula for conversion:
     ssia=11​×2.93867=2.93867 ssia

2. Example 2: Convert 3 s/km to ssia.

   • Using the conversion formula:
     ssia=31​×2.93867≈0.9795567 ssia

3. Example 3: Convert 6 s/km to ssia.

   • Using the conversion:
     ssia=61​×2.93867≈0.4897783 ssia

4. Example 4: Convert 11 s/km to ssia.

   • Using the formula:
     ssia=111​×2.93867≈0.2671518 ssia

5. Example 5: Convert 1 ssia to s/km.

   • For this conversion:
     s/km=11​×2.93867=2.93867 s/km
