Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers per hour to meters per second is 0.277777777778, which means that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.277777777778 meters per second:

1 km/h = 0.277777777778 m/s

To convert 1977 kilometers per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 1977 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from kilometers per hour to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km/h → 0.277777777778 m/s

1977 km/h → V_(m/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:

V_(m/s) = 1977 km/h × 0.277777777778 m/s

V_(m/s) = 549.16666666711 m/s

The final result is:

1977 km/h → 549.16666666711 m/s

We conclude that 1977 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 549.16666666711 meters per second:

1977 kilometers per hour = 549.16666666711 meters per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.0018209408194219 × 1977 kilometers per hour.
