Meters per Second to Kilometers per Hour Converter
Convert speed from meters per second (m/s) to kilometers per hour (km/h) with our easy-to-use calculator. Perfect for physics, sports, and everyday conversions.
Step 1: Enter Speed
Understanding Speed Units
Meters per second (m/s) is the SI unit for speed, commonly used in scientific contexts. Kilometers per hour (km/h) is more commonly used in everyday situations like vehicle speed limits.
Step 2: Options
Conversion Formula
The conversion from m/s to km/h is straightforward: multiply the speed in m/s by 3.6. This is because 1 m/s equals 3.6 km/h (since 1 km = 1000 m and 1 hour = 3600 seconds).

Conversion Formula
km/h = m/s × 3.6
To convert from meters per second to kilometers per hour, multiply the speed value by 3.6. This conversion factor comes from the relationship between meters and kilometers (1 km = 1000 m) and seconds and hours (1 hour = 3600 seconds).
Step-by-Step Calculation
Example: Convert 10 m/s to km/h
1. Start with the speed in m/s: 10 m/s
2. Multiply by 3600 (seconds in an hour): 10 × 3600 = 36,000 m/h
3. Divide by 1000 (meters in a kilometer): 36,000 ÷ 1000 = 36 km/h
4. Or simply: 10 × 3.6 = 36 km/h
