Kilometers Per Hour to Centimeters Per Second Conversion
Enter the speed in kilometers per hour below to get the value converted to centimeters per second.
How to Convert Kilometers Per Hour to Centimeters Per Second
To convert a kilometer per hour measurement to a centimeter per second measurement, multiply the speed by the conversion ratio.
Since one kilometer per hour is equal to 27.777778 centimeters per second, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The speed in centimeters per second is equal to the kilometers per hour multiplied by 27.777778.
Kilometers per hour and centimeters per second are both units used to measure speed. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Kilometers Per Hour
Kilometers per hour are a measurement of speed expressing the distance traveled in kilometers in one hour.
The kilometer per hour, or kilometre per hour, is an SI unit of speed in the metric system. Kilometers per hour can be abbreviated as km/h, and are also sometimes abbreviated as kph. For example, 1 kilometer per hour can be written as 1 km/h or 1 kph.
In formal expressions, the slash, or solidus (/), is used to separate units used to indicate division in an expression.[1]
Kilometers per hour can be expressed using the formula:
vkm/h = dkmthr
The velocity in kilometers per hour is equal to the distance in kilometers divided by time in hours.
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.
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.
