What is the formula to convert from Kilometer/hour to Kilometer/second?

The formula to convert speed value from the unit of Kilometer/hour to the unit of Kilometer/second is:

Speed_{(Kilometer/second)} = Speed_{(Kilometer/hour)} / 3600

Kilometer/hour unit in Speed

Kilometer per hour (km/h or kph) is a metric unit of speed, representing the distance traveled in kilometers in one hour. It is commonly used in road transportation and weather reporting to measure the speed of vehicles and wind.

Kilometer/second unit in Speed

Kilometer per second (km/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance traveled in kilometers in one second. It is primarily used in scientific contexts, such as astrophysics, to describe the speed of astronomical objects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about "Kilometer/hour ➜ Kilometer/second" Conversion
