How it is calculated
km/h/s = m/s² × 3.6
Multiply the value in meters per second squared by 3.6 to get kilometers per hour per second.
Example
To convert 25 m/s² to kilometers per hour per second: 25 × 3.6 = 90 km/h/s.

About the units
- Meter per second squared
- The SI unit of acceleration: a gain in speed of one meter per second during each second.
- Kilometer per hour per second
- A gain of 1 km/h in speed each second, exactly 1/3.6 m/s². It helps read car 0 to 100 km/h times.
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 kilometers per hour per second are in one meter per second squared?
1 m/s² = 3.6 km/h/s exactly.
How do I convert meters per second squared to kilometers per hour per second?
Use km/h/s = m/s² × 3.6. For example, 25 m/s² = 90 km/h/s.
How many meters per second squared are in one kilometer per hour per second?
1 km/h/s = 0.277778 m/s².
How many m/s² is 1 g?
1 g is exactly 9.80665 m/s², a fixed standard value. Real gravity varies slightly with latitude and altitude, from about 9.78 at the equator to 9.83 at the poles.
How do I get a car's acceleration from its 0 to 100 km/h time?
Divide 100 by the seconds to get km/h per second, then convert to m/s². For example 10 seconds means 10 km/h per second, about 2.78 m/s² or 0.283 g on average.
