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 1979 kilometers per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 1979 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

1979 km/h → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1979 km/h × 0.277777777778 m/s

V_(m/s) = 549.72222222266 m/s

The final result is:

1979 km/h → 549.72222222266 m/s

We conclude that 1979 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 549.72222222266 meters per second:

1979 kilometers per hour = 549.72222222266 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 0.0018191005558348 × 1979 kilometers per hour.
