centimeter per second to yard per second
Convert centimeter per second (cm/s) to yard per second (yd/s). Use an editable speed converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 cm/s = 0.01093613298 yd/s
Conversion formula
One centimeter per second equals 0.01093613298 yard per second. Multiply your value in centimeter per second by this factor to get yard per second. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 centimeter per second:5 × 0.01093613298 = 0.05468066492 yd/s

About these measurements
Speed is distance traveled per unit of time.
The base reference used here is the meter per second. One centimeter per second is 0.01 base units; one yard per second is 0.9144 base units.
Important distinctions
Mach is excluded because the speed of sound depends on medium and temperature.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert cm/s to yd/s?
Multiply the quantity in cm/s by 0.01093613298. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the yard per second to centimeter per second converter.
