Converting the other way: kilometers per hour to meters per second

meters per second = kilometers per hour × 0.27777778. So 7,200 kilometers per hour is back to 2,000 meters per second; one kilometer per hour is 0.27777778 meters per second. See the kilometers per hour to meters per second table.

Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 3.6: 2,000 × 3.6 ≈ 7,200 kph, against the exact 7,200 kph (0.0% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A meter per second is bigger than a kilometer per hour, so the number of kilometers per hour must come out larger than the number of meters per second. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
