Conversion from

m / s

k m / h

:
Meters per second

(m / s)

and kilometers per hour

(k m / h)

are units of speed (scalar) and velocity (vector).Kilometers per hour

(k m / h)

the distance traveled is expressed in kilometers per hour and meters per second

(m / s)

measures the distance covered in number of meters per one second.To convert meters into kilometers, the quantity is divided by

1000

and to convert seconds into hours, the quantity is divided by

3600

.So, to convert

m / s

k m / h

, the numerator must be divided by

1000

and the denominator must be divided by

3600

. This implies that the whole quantity that is given in

m / s

must be multiplied by

\frac{3600}{1000}

.Converting it in least form, the quantity given in

m / s

must be multiplied by

\frac{18}{5}

to convert it into

k m / h

.Example:
Take the speed to be

10 m / s

.Multiply this by

\frac{18}{5}

to convert it into

k m / h

.So,

10 m / s = 10 \times \frac{18}{5} k m / h = 36 k m / h

Hence, the quantity given in

m / s

must be multiplied by

\frac{18}{5}

to convert it into

k m / h

. For example,

10 m / s = 10 \times \frac{18}{5} k m / h = 36 k m / h
