Factor1 (km/h)/s = 0.2777778 m/s²

Converter

(km/h)/s

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
2.77778m/s²

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
m/s² = (km/h)/s × 0.2777778

Multiply any value in kilometres per hour per second by 0.2777778 to obtain the value in metres per second squared.

Worked example

Convert 10 (km/h)/s to m/s².

  1. 01Start with 10 (km/h)/s.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10 × 0.2777778 = 2.77778 m/s².
Result10 (km/h)/s = 2.77778 m/s²

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from (km/h)/s to m/s²?
1 (km/h)/s equals 0.2777778 m/s². To convert, multiply the value in kilometres per hour per second by 0.2777778.
How do I convert 1 (km/h)/s to m/s²?
1 (km/h)/s = 0.277778 m/s². For any value, multiply by 0.2777778.
How do I convert m/s² back to (km/h)/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 3.6. So 1 m/s² = 3.6 (km/h)/s.
When would I need to convert kilometre per hour per second to metre per second squared?
Acceleration conversions between (km/h)/s and m/s² are common in vibration analysis, seismic load calculations, mechanical equipment specifications, and motion-control design. m/s² is the SI standard; g (standard gravity) is widely used in shock, vibration, and ride-quality work.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
