Conversion Calculators

Speed Converter

Convert speed between meters per second, kilometers per hour, miles per hour, feet per second, and knots.

Quick guide

Enter a speed and choose the units to convert between meters per second, kilometers per hour, miles per hour, feet per second, and knots. Each conversion combines a distance factor with a time factor.

1 Kilometers/hour (km/h)

0.621371 Miles/hour (mph)

1 Kilometers/hour (km/h)
0.62137124 Miles/hour (mph)
1 Miles/hour (mph)
1.60934387 Kilometers/hour (km/h)

How It Works

Speed is distance over time, so conversion combines the length and time factors. One knot is one nautical mile per hour.

Formula Used

value × from-factor ÷ to-factor (base unit: m/s).

Example Calculation

100 km/h ≈ 62.14 mph ≈ 27.78 m/s.

Practical Use Cases

  • Convert speed limits when driving abroad.
  • Compare running and cycling paces.
  • Work with aviation and marine speeds in knots.
