Meters Per Second Calculator Online

Our Meters Per Second Calculator is a versatile tool designed to convert any given speed into meters per second. This measurement is crucial in scientific research, sporting events, and many technical applications where precision is key. Understanding how fast something moves in meters per second can help in experimental physics, athletic training, and even in everyday situations like driving.

Formula of Meters Per Second Calculator

To make these conversions easy, here are the basic formulas you need:

Kilometers per hour (km/h) to meters per second (m/s): Speed (m/s) = Speed (km/h) / 3.6

Miles per hour (mph) to meters per second (m/s): Speed (m/s) = Speed (mph) * 1609.34 / 3600

Feet per second (ft/s) to meters per second (m/s): Speed (m/s) = Speed (ft/s) * 0.3048

These formulas ensure you can convert any speed measurement into meters per second accurately and effortlessly.

Table of Common Conversions

To aid quick references, below is a table of common conversions from popular speed units to meters per second:

Original Unit	Conversion Formula	Example
km/h	Speed (km/h) / 3.6 -> m/s	100 km/h -> 27.78 m/s
mph	Speed (mph) * 1609.34 / 3600 -> m/s	60 mph -> 26.82 m/s
ft/s	Speed (ft/s) * 0.3048 -> m/s	30 ft/s -> 9.14 m/s

Examples of Meters Per Second Calculator

Let's go through a practical example using each formula:

1. Converting 100 km/h to m/s:
   • Calculation: 100 / 3.6 = 27.78 m/s.
2. Converting 60 mph to m/s:
   • Calculation: 60 x 1609.34 / 3600 = 26.82 m/s.
3. Converting 30 ft/s to m/s:
   • Calculation: 30 x 0.3048 = 9.14 m/s.

These examples demonstrate how to apply the formulas effectively.
