How do you Convert 100 km per hour to meters per second?

Answer 1

The easiest way to do this is by first converting 100km to meters, then 1 hour to seconds, then we can combine the two to create the ratio of ?m/?secs and reduce.

So, 1 km (kilometer) = 1000 meters.

100km x 1000 meters/km = 100,000 meters

Now, 1 hour = 60 minutes, 1 minute = 60 seconds.

1 hour x 60 minutes/hr x 60 seconds/minute = 3,600 seconds

So now we will put the two together to form the ratio of ?m/?sec

100,000 meters / 3,600 seconds

Now we will reduce,

100,000 meters/ 3,600 seconds =

1,000 meters / 36 seconds =

500 meters/ 18 seconds =

250 meters/ 9 seconds =

approx 27.78 meters/second
