About Converting m/s to Meter per Minutes
m/s and Meter per Minutes both describe speed, and the conversion matters whenever a maritime or aviation speed (knots) needs to be compared against a road speed (mph). m/s is most often used for scientific and engineering speed/velocity calculations.
Formula
meter per minutes = m/s × 60
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 m/s equals 1 base unit, and 1 meter per minutes equals 0.0166666666667 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct m/s-to-meter per minutes factor of 60.
Simple example
1 m/s × 60 = 60 m/min
1 m/s = 60 meter per minutes.
Real-world example
10 m/s × 60 = 600 m/min
10 m/s = 600 meter per minutes.
Conversion table
| m/s (m/s) | Meter per Minutes (m/min) |
|---|---|
| 1 m/s | 60 m/min |
| 5 m/s | 300 m/min |
| 10 m/s | 600 m/min |
| 25 m/s | 1,500 m/min |
| 50 m/s | 3,000 m/min |
| 100 m/s | 6,000 m/min |
Reverse conversion: Meter per Minutes to m/s
60 m/min × 0.01666666667 = 1 m/s
60 meter per minutes = 1 m/s.
m/s = meter per minutes × 0.0166666666667

Understanding the m/s
m/s (m/s) measures speed. The meter per second is the SI derived unit of speed: one meter of distance per second of time. It is classified as a SI derived unit.
Where it's used: Standard scientific speed unit worldwide
Uses of the m/s today
- Scientific and engineering speed/velocity calculations
- Meteorology (wind speed, alongside km/h and knots)
- Physics education and calculations
History of the m/s
As a coherent SI derived unit, meters per second follows automatically from the meter and second, the SI base units of length and time, without an independent historical origin.
Historical origin. m/s was not the invention of a single named person; it developed through the process described above.

Frequently asked questions
How many meter per minutes are in 1 m/s?
1 m/s equals 60 meter per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert m/s to meter per minutes?
Multiply the m/s value by 60. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert meter per minutes back to m/s?
Use the reverse factor: 1 meter per minutes equals 0.0166666667 m/s. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a m/s?
m/s (m/s) measures speed. The meter per second is the SI derived unit of speed: one meter of distance per second of time. It is classified as a SI derived unit.
What is a meter per minutes?
Meter per Minutes (m/min) is a unit of speed.
Is the m/s to meter per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both m/s and meter per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 60 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
Where is the m/s still used today?
Standard scientific speed unit worldwide
