About the units
- Kilometer per hour
- Covering 1000 meters in 3600 seconds, so 1 km/h is exactly 1/3.6 m/s. It is the unit on road signs and car speedometers in most countries.
- Meter per minute
- Covering one meter in one minute, exactly 1/60 m/s. It is used for walking pace, production lines and conveyor belts.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many meters per minute are in one kilometer per hour?
1 km/h = 16.6667 m/min exactly.
How do I convert kilometers per hour to meters per minute?
Use m/min = km/h × 16.66666667. For example, 25 km/h = 416.667 m/min.
How many kilometers per hour are in one meter per minute?
1 m/min = 0.06 km/h.
How do I convert km/h to m/s in my head?
Divide by 3.6, because an hour is 3600 seconds and a kilometer is 1000 meters. For example 72 km/h is 20 m/s; multiply by 3.6 to go back.
Why do Mach values differ between sources?
The speed of sound depends on air temperature. We use 340.294 m/s at sea level and 15 °C; at 11 km altitude it is about 295 m/s, so Mach 1 is slower there.
