Convert mile/hour to centimeter/second
Please provide values below to convert mile/hour [mi/h] to centimeter/second [cm/s], or Convert centimeter/second to mile/hour.
1 mi/h = 44.704 cm/s. To convert mile/hour to centimeter/second, multiply the value by 44.704; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cm/s = 0.0223693629205 mi/h). Both units measure speed and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 mi/h = 44.704 cm/s
- 1 cm/s = 0.0223693629205 mi/h
- 10 mi/h = 447.04 cm/s
- 100 mi/h = 4470.4 cm/s
How to Convert Mile/hour to Centimeter/second
1 mi/h = 44.704 cm/s
Example: convert 15 mi/h to cm/s:
15 mi/h = 15 × 44.704 cm/s = 670.56 cm/s

Mile/hour
Mile per hour (mi/h) is a unit of speed representing the number of miles traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The mile per hour has been used primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom for measuring speed, especially in transportation, since the adoption of the imperial system. Its usage dates back to the widespread use of miles as a distance measure before metric standardization.
Current Use
Today, mi/h is commonly used in the United States and some other countries to express vehicle speeds, speed limits, and other transportation-related velocities. It remains a standard unit in contexts where the imperial system is prevalent.
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.
