Meters Per Second to Speed Of Sound Conversion
Enter the speed in meters per second below to get the value converted to speed of sound.
How to Convert Meters Per Second to Speed Of Sound
To convert a meter per second measurement to a speed of sound measurement, divide the speed by the conversion ratio.
Since one speed of sound is equal to 343 meters per second, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The speed in speed of sound is equal to the meters per second divided by 343.
Meters per second and speed of sound are both units used to measure speed. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
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.
In formal expressions, the slash, or solidus (/), is used to separate units used to indicate division in an expression.[1]
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.
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.
