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 6438 kilometers per hour into meters per second we have to multiply 6438 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

6438 km/h → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 6438 km/h × 0.277777777778 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1788.3333333348 m/s

The final result is:

6438 km/h → 1788.3333333348 m/s

We conclude that 6438 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 1788.3333333348 meters per second:

6438 kilometers per hour = 1788.3333333348 meters per second
