How to convert KPH to MPS?
To convert kilometres per hour (KPH) to metres per second (MPS), you multiply the speed in kph by 0.2778. For instance, if an engine has a power output of 62 kph, the equivalent in mps would be approximately 17.22 mps.
How many KPH in 1 MPS?
There is approximately 3.6 kph in 1 mps. This means that 1 mps is equivalent to 3.6 kilometres per hour.
KPH to MPS Formula
The formula to convert KPH to MPS is:
MPS = KPH × 0.2778
For example, if you are travelling at 100 kph, the equivalent speed in metres per second would be:
MPS = 100 x 0.2778 = 27.78
