Centimeters Per Second to Meters Per Second Conversion
Enter the speed in centimeters per second below to get the value converted to meters per second.
How to Convert Centimeters Per Second to Meters Per Second
To convert a centimeter per second measurement to a meter per second measurement, divide the speed by the conversion ratio.
Since one meter per second is equal to 100 centimeters per second, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The speed in meters per second is equal to the centimeters per second divided by 100.
Centimeters per second and meters per second are both units used to measure speed. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Centimeters Per Second
Centimeters per second are a measurement of speed expressing the distance traveled in centimeters in one second.
The centimeter per second, or centimetre per second, is an SI unit of speed in the metric system. Centimeters per second can be abbreviated as cm/s, and are also sometimes abbreviated as cm/sec. For example, 1 centimeter per second can be written as 1 cm/s or 1 cm/sec.
In formal expressions, the slash, or solidus (/), is used to separate units used to indicate division in an expression.[1]
Centimeters per second can be expressed using the formula:
vm/s = dcmtsec
The velocity in centimeters per second is equal to the distance in centimeters divided by time in seconds.
Meters Per Second
Meters per second are a measurement of speed expressing the distance traveled in meters in one second.
The meter per second, or metre per second, is the SI derived unit for speed in the metric system. Meters per second can be abbreviated as m/s, and are also sometimes abbreviated as m/sec. For example, 1 meter per second can be written as 1 m/s or 1 m/sec.
Meters per second can be expressed using the formula:
vm/s = dmtsec
The velocity in meters per second is equal to the distance in meters divided by time in seconds.
