Conversion Definitions
The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between decimeters per second and kilometers per second.
What is decimeters per second (dm/s)?
Decimeters per second is a unit of Speed or Velocity in the Metric System. It measures the number of decimeters traveled in a second. The symbol for decimeters per second is dm/s and the International spelling for this unit is decimetres per second. There are 10,000 dm/s in km/s.
What is kilometers per second (km/s)?
Kilometers per second is a unit of Speed or Velocity in the Metric System. It measures the number of kilometers traveled in a second. The symbol for kilometers per second is km/s and the International spelling for this unit is kilometres per second. There are 0.0001 km/s in dm/s.
Conversion Formula
Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.
The formula to convert from dm/s to km/s is:
km/s = dm/s ÷ 10,000
Conversion Example
Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from decimeters per second to kilometers per second (dm/s to km/s).
Decimeters per second to Kilometers per second Conversion Example
Task: Convert 2,500 decimeters per second to kilometers per second (show work) Formula: dm/s ÷ 10,000 = km/s Calculations: 2,500 dm/s ÷ 10,000 = 0.25 km/s Result: 2,500 dm/s is equal to 0.25 km/s
