Convert meter/second to centimeter/second
Please provide values below to convert meter/second [m/s] to centimeter/second [cm/s], or Convert centimeter/second to meter/second.
1 m/s = 100 cm/s. To convert meter/second to centimeter/second, multiply the value by 100; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cm/s = 0.01 m/s). Both units measure speed and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 m/s = 100 cm/s
- 1 cm/s = 0.01 m/s
- 10 m/s = 1000 cm/s
- 100 m/s = 10000 cm/s
How to Convert Meter/second to Centimeter/second
1 m/s = 100 cm/s
Example: convert 15 m/s to cm/s:
15 m/s = 15 × 100 cm/s = 1500 cm/s

Meter/second
The meter per second (m/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance in meters traveled per second.
History/Origin
The meter per second has been used as a standard unit of speed in the International System of Units (SI) since the adoption of the SI system in 1960, based on the meter defined by the speed of light.
Current Use
It is commonly used in physics, engineering, and everyday contexts to measure velocity, such as in transportation, aerodynamics, and scientific research.
Centimeter/second
A unit of speed representing the distance of one centimeter traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The centimeter per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts where metric units are standard, especially before the widespread adoption of SI units. It is a derived unit based on the centimeter and second, both of which have historical roots in the metric system developed in France during the late 18th century.
Current Use
The centimeter per second is primarily used in scientific research, fluid dynamics, and engineering applications where small-scale speed measurements are required. It is also used in certain fields like biology and physics for precise velocity measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 meter/second in centimeter/second?
1 meter/second (m/s) = 100 centimeter/second (cm/s).
How do you convert meter/second to centimeter/second?
Multiply the meter/second value by 100. For example, 25 m/s × 100 = 2500 cm/s.
