897 meters per second in kilometers per hour

Result

The conversion result is: 897 meters per second is equivalent to 3229.2 kilometers per hour.^[1]

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.000309674222717701 times 897 meters per second.

It can also be expressed as: 897 meters per second is equal to 1 / 0.000309674222717701 kilometers per hour.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: eight hundred and ninety-seven meters per second is about zero kilometers per hour, or alternatively, a kilometer per hour is about zero times eight hundred and ninety-seven meters per second.

Units involved

This is how the units in this conversion are defined:

Meters Per Second

"Meter per second is an SI derived unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity which specifies both magnitude and a specific direction), defined by distance in metres divided by time in seconds.The SI unit symbols are m·s−1, m s−1, m/s, or m/s, sometimes (unofficially) abbreviated as mps. Where metres per second are several orders of magnitude too slow to be convenient, such as in astronomical measurements, velocities may be given in kilometres per second, where 1 km/s is 1000 metres per second, sometimes unofficially abbreviated as kps."

Kilometers Per Hour

"The kilometer per hour is a unit of speed, expressing the number of kilometres travelled in one hour. The unit symbol is km/h. Worldwide, it is the most commonly used unit of speed on road signs and car speedometers."
