Relative Speeds

train1
train3

Convert kmph to metres per second and vice-versa.

Type the speed in kilometres per hour in the first box below OR
Type the speed in metres per second in the second box:

Kilometres per hour
equals
metres per second

To convert the speed in kmph into mps multiply the speed by 5/18 and to convert the speed in mps into kmph multiply by 18/5.
