Convert kilometer per minute to meter per second
Kilometer per minute
The kilometer per minute (km/min) is a unit of speed equal to 1,000 metres per minute, or approximately 16.667 metres per second and 60 kilometres per hour. It is not a standard SI unit but is a metric-compatible unit occasionally used in engineering and transportation contexts. Aircraft speeds, for example, may be expressed in kilometres per minute for mission planning purposes. It bridges the gap between the commonly used km/h and the high-speed km/s.
Meter per Second
The meter per second (m/s) is the SI unit of speed and velocity, defined as the distance in meters traveled in one second. It is the standard unit for expressing velocity in science, engineering, and many international contexts. One meter per second equals 3.6 kilometers per hour or approximately 2.237 miles per hour.
