How do you calculate seconds of latitude and longitude into meters?

At the equator 1° of latitude or longitude is equal to about 111 kilometers (69 miles). This remains the same for latitude (north-south) measurements, but the longitude lines get closer together as you move poleward.

∙ 12y agoOne second of latitude is roughly equal to a distance of 30.8 meters.
There's no way to come up with a similar number for longitude, because the
distance between longitudes isn't constant. Any two longitudes are farthest
apart at the equator, the distance shrinks as you move toward either pole,
and then all longitudes converge in a single point at the pole.
If you want something to work with, you could say that the distance of
one second of longitude is
(30.8 meters) times (cosine of the latitude at which it's measured).

Smallest unit of latitude and longitude?
Latitude and longitude are angles. There is no smallest unit. If you move one inch north of where you are right now, you've changed your latitude about 0.00000023 degree, or about 0.000004 milliradian.
What is the exact location of tokyo in terms of latitude and longitude?
-- The point between the two tall towers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is 35.6896° north latitude 139.6917° east longitude. -- The center of the field at the National Olympic Stadium is located at 35.6780° north latitude 139.7149° east longitude. -- The north end of Runway-17 at the Chofu commuter airport 3.1 km west of the center of Tokyo is located at 35.6756° north latitude 139.5264° easy longitude, -- and the south end of the same runway, only 930 meters away, is located at 35.6676° north latitude 139.5294° east longitude. It should be evident that it's virtually impossible to state the "exact" latitude and longitude of any place comprised of more than one dimensionless point.
What are the coordinates of the titanic wreakage using latitude and longitude?
The two sections of the hull are about 720 meters apart on the sea floor. The point roughly midway between them is located at 41.73033° north latitude 49.94848° west longitude.

How do you calculate seconds when given meters per second?
You can't convert between seconds, and meters/second. If you have a problem that involves speeds, use the formula: distance = speed x time.

If a car travels 200 meters in 10 seconds what is the speed of the car
How do you convert lat and long to meters?
You don't. Latitudes and longitudes are angles, whereas meters are used to describe lengths and distances. There are methods to calculate the distance between one latitude/longitude and another. They're straightforward and not 'difficult', but they're far too complex to describe here, and are almost always done with calculators or computers nowadays.

How do you calculate the average speed without knowing the speed only the time?
To calculate the average speed of /anything/ you need to know the distance it traveled (IE: 500 meters) and the time it took to travel that (IE:50 seconds) Here's how to calculate it: You take the total distance and divide it by the time. So in our example, a car traveled 500 meters in 50 seconds, so the speed would be: 500 meters / 50 seconds = 500/50 = 10 meters / second. So the car would be traveling 10 meters per second.
