Conversion from Speed of sound to Meters per second (m/s) and vice versa
Updated on by Stefan BanseHere you can convert the Speed unit Speed of sound into the unit Meters per second and vice versa you can convert Meters per second into Speed of sound. By clicking the "Swap units" icon, you will always obtain the desired conversion in the calculation result. With the following calculator you can also calculate any other Speed unit.
Info about "Speed of sound"
Definition: If an object travels at the speed of sound in air at 20 degrees Celsius for one second, it travels a distance of 343 meters per second. Actually, it is equivalent to 1.234,8 km/h.
The speed of sound is often illustrated by an example of a thunderstorm: if lightning strikes within 3 seconds of the thunder sound, then the thunderstorm is about 1 kilometer away. Another example, in a 100-meter sprint, the starting shot is fired directly next to the starting blocks. Imagine, if the start shot was fired at the finish line, it would take about 0.3 seconds of time to hear the shot in the start blocks.
Info about "Meters per second"
Meters per second is a basic unit for speed in the International System of Units (SI) and other metric systems. This is because both meter and second are the international base units for distance and time. Definition of "meters per second": An object moving at 1 "m/s" per second will cover a distance of one meter.
In our daily work, speed is commonly measured in km/h. The following rule is an easy way to remember when converting m/s into km/h: &qquot; multiply by four and minus 10 %". For example, standard walking speeds in meters per second are about 1 m/s for a walker, 10.44 m/s is the world record for running 100 meters, and the speed of sound is 343 meters per second.
As mentioned above, both meter and second are the international base units for distance and time. All other speed units in the metric system are derived based on meters per second (e.g. km/h, mm/s).
