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 422 kilometers per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 422 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

422 km/h → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 422 km/h × 0.277777777778 m/s

V_(m/s) = 117.22222222232 m/s

The final result is:

422 km/h → 117.22222222232 m/s

We conclude that 422 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 117.22222222232 meters per second:

422 kilometers per hour = 117.22222222232 meters per second

Alternative conversion
