Converting from Seconds per mile (spm) to Centimeter per second (cm/s) in Speed

What is Seconds per mile (spm)

Seconds per mile (spm) is a unit used to measure how many seconds it takes to travel one mile. It is a measure of time taken to cover one mile of distance.

What is Centimeter per second (cm/s)

Centimeter per second (cm/s) is a unit of speed that represents the distance traveled in centimeters in one second. It is commonly used for measuring the speed of smaller distances.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between spm and cm/s is:

• 1 spm = 160934.4 cm/s
• 1 cm/s = 160934.4 spm

Other common conversions include:

• 4 spm = 40233.6 cm/s
• 4 cm/s = 40233.6 spm
• 16 spm = 10058.4 cm/s
• 16 cm/s = 10058.4 spm
• 5 spm = 32186.88 cm/s
• 5 cm/s = 32186.88 spm

The conversion can be done using the formula:

cm/s=spm160934.4​

spm=cm/s160934.4​

Examples

1. Convert 10 spm to cm/s:

cm/s=10160934.4​=16093.44

2. Convert 600 cm/s to spm:

spm=600160934.4​≈268.224

This conversion allows for easy transition between seconds per mile and centimeters per second, providing flexibility in speed measurement for various purposes.
