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 5378 kilometers per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 5378 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

5378 km/h → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 5378 km/h × 0.277777777778 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1493.8888888901 m/s

The final result is:

5378 km/h → 1493.8888888901 m/s

We conclude that 5378 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 1493.8888888901 meters per second:

5378 kilometers per hour = 1493.8888888901 meters per second
