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 4966 kilometers per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 4966 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

4966 km/h → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 4966 km/h × 0.277777777778 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1379.4444444455 m/s

The final result is:

4966 km/h → 1379.4444444455 m/s

We conclude that 4966 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 1379.4444444455 meters per second:

4966 kilometers per hour = 1379.4444444455 meters per second
