To convert velocity from kilometers per hour (km/hr) to meters per second (m/s), you can use the following conversion factor:
1 km = 1000 meters
1 hour = 3600 seconds
Therefore, you can convert km/hr to m/s by multiplying by 1000 (to convert kilometers to meters) and then dividing by 3600 (to convert hours to seconds).
Velocity in m/s = (Velocity in km/hr) * (1000 meters/1 km) / (3600 seconds/1 hour)
For 60 km/hr, the calculation would be:
Velocity in m/s = 60 * 1000 / 3600 = 60000 / 3600 = 16.666... m/s
So, 60 km/hr is equivalent to approximately 16.67 m/s (rounded to two decimal places).
Convert velocity into m/s
60km/hr
