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 5073 kilometers per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 5073 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

5073 km/h → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 5073 km/h × 0.277777777778 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1409.1666666678 m/s

The final result is:

5073 km/h → 1409.1666666678 m/s

We conclude that 5073 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 1409.1666666678 meters per second:

5073 kilometers per hour = 1409.1666666678 meters per second

Alternative conversion
