Question 1

How do I convert km/h per second to m/s²?

Accepted Answer

Divide by 3.6. For example, 36 km/h/s = 10 m/s², meaning speed increases by 10 m/s every second.

Question 2

What is typical car acceleration in km/h per second?

Accepted Answer

A typical car accelerates at about 10-15 km/h/s (0-100 km/h in 7-10 seconds). Sports cars can exceed 35 km/h/s.

Question 3

Why use km/h/s for vehicle acceleration?

Accepted Answer

It's intuitive for drivers since speedometers display km/h. 10 km/h/s means gaining 10 km/h every second.
