What this calculator does
Converts a measurement given in metre per seconds into centimetre per seconds using the defined conversion factor.
What your result means
The same quantity expressed in cm/s instead of m/s. Nothing about the measurement itself changes.
Formula and working
cm/s = m/s × 100
- 1
Start with your value

Convert to meter per second
10 × 1 = 10 m/s
- 3
Convert into centimeters per second
10 ÷ 0.01 = 1,000 cm/s
- 4
Result
10 m/s = 1,000 cm/s
Frequently asked questions
Symbols and assumptions
- m/s
- Input unit — metre per second
- cm/s
- Output unit — centimetre per second
- • Both units measure speed and velocity, so the physical quantity is unchanged by the conversion.
- • The relationship is exactly linear: 1 m/s = 100 cm/s.
- • Values are converted through the SI base unit for this quantity rather than pair by pair.
