Speed Of Sound to Meters Per Second Conversion
Enter the speed in speed of sound below to get the value converted to meters per second.
How to Convert Speed Of Sound to Meters Per Second
To convert a speed of sound measurement to a meter per second measurement, multiply the speed by the conversion ratio. One speed of sound is equal to 343 meters per second, so use this simple formula to convert:
The speed in meters per second is equal to the speed of sound multiplied by 343.
Speed of sound and meters per second are both units used to measure speed. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
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,[1] 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.
Meters Per Second
Meters per second are a measurement of speed expressing the distance travelled 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.
