Centimeters Per Second to Speed Of Sound Conversion
Enter the speed in centimeters per second below to get the value converted to speed of sound.
How to Convert Centimeters Per Second to Speed Of Sound
To convert a centimeter per second measurement to a speed of sound measurement, divide the speed by the conversion ratio. One speed of sound is equal to 34,300 centimeters per second, so use this simple formula to convert:
The speed in speed of sound is equal to the centimeters per second divided by 34,300.
Centimeters per second and speed of sound 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.
Speed Of Sound
The speed of sound is the distance a sound wave travels through an elastic medium. The speed of sound through air at 20 °C is equal to 343 meters per second,[2] or roughly 767 miles per hour.
Speed of sound can be abbreviated as sound; for example, 1 speed of sound can be written as 1 sound.
