About Speed Conversions

Speed is the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time. It is a scalar quantity with magnitude but no direction.

The meter per second (m/s) is the SI derived unit of speed. Other common units include kilometers per hour (km/h), miles per hour (mph), and knots (kn).

Speed conversion is used in transportation, physics, engineering, and many other fields. Different regions use different speed units,
with kilometers per hour being used in most countries, while miles per hour is primarily used in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Knots are commonly used in maritime navigation and aviation.

Speed Units Explained

Meter per Second (m/s)

The meter per second is the SI derived unit of speed. It is the speed of an object traveling one meter in one second.

Kilometer per Hour (km/h)

A kilometer per hour is a unit of speed equal to one kilometer traveled in one hour. It is commonly used for measuring vehicle speeds in most countries.

Mile per Hour (mph)

A mile per hour is a unit of speed equal to one mile traveled in one hour. It is commonly used for measuring vehicle speeds in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Foot per Second (ft/s)

A foot per second is a unit of speed equal to one foot traveled in one second. It is commonly used in engineering in the United States.

Knot (kn)

A knot is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. It is commonly used in maritime navigation and aviation.
