Meter per second
Definition
A meter per second is defined as the distance traveled in meters, divided by the time taken in seconds. It's equal to 3.6 kilometers per hour, approximately 3.2808 feet per second, and 2.2369 miles per hour.
Origin
The meter per second is a unit that was derived from the SI units of meters and seconds. It was proposed as a name derived from Karl Benz, a German engineer and automobile designer-the original founder of the company which would produce the Mercedes Benz line of automobiles. Although this unit has seen some support, particularly in Germany, it has been rejected by the scientific community and never received an official name.
Current use
Units of measurement in science and engineering often depend on whether an action is relatively slow or fast. For instance, the meter per second is preferred for studying events where a precise measurement doesn't matter. But if one was investigating something happening on a high-speed train or a jet, kilometers per second might be better suited. The same idea is true for the kilometer per hour relative to miles per hour in the context of road speeds.
Kilometer/hour
Definition
1 kilometer per hour ?(symbol: km/h) is a unit of speed expressing the number of kilometers traveled in one hour.
Origin
The unit of kilometers per hour originated from the meter, which was formalized in 1799. The first use of the term kilometer dates back to 1810. It wasn't until later in the mid-late 19th century that the use of kilometers per hour became more popular; myriam metres were preferred for expressing speed at that time.
Current use
Km/h is the most popular unit of speed all around the world, typically used for car speeds as well as road signs. It’s common for both miles per hour and kilometers per hour to be displayed on speedometers in cars. One abbreviation for km/h is kmph or km/hr. This is the SI unit symbol.

How to Convert Meter/second to Kilometer/hour
1 m/s = 3.6 km/h
1 km/h = 0.2777777778 m/s
Example: convert 100 m/s to km/h:
100 m/s = 100 × 3.6 km/h = 360 km/h
