what is the conversion factor between km/h and m/s?
0.0278 m/s
0.278 m/s
3.60 m/s
16.7 m/s

Explanation:

Step1: Convert kilometers to meters

Since \(1\) kilometer (\(km\)) is equal to \(1000\) meters (\(m\)), so \(1\ km = 1000\ m\).

Step2: Convert hours to seconds

Since \(1\) hour (\(h\)) is equal to \(3600\) seconds (\(s\)), so \(1\ h=3600\ s\).

Step3: Calculate the conversion factor

We want to convert \(1\ km/h\) to \(m/s\). Using the unit - conversion formula:
