This is a simple speed unit converter. It converts speed from one unit to another.
Speed is a measure of how fast something happens or how quickly something can be done.
Speed is a measure of how fast something is moving. Speed is usually measured in meters per second. There are a few ways to calculate speed. One way is to use the equation:
speed = distance÷time.
Another way is to use the equation:
speed = distance/velocity.
What is a real life example of speed?
In physics, speed is defined as the rate at which an object moves. It is measured in terms of distance traveled divided by the time it took to travel that distance. For example, if an object moves 100 meters in 10 seconds, its speed is 10 meters per second.
Conversion factor table
Desired speed unit = (Current speed × FromFactor) ÷ toFactor
| Unit | Conversion Factor |
|---|---|
| METER PER SECOND | 1 |
| KILOMETER PER HOUR | 0.27777777777778 |
| KILOMETER PER SECOND | 1000 |
| MILE PER HOUR | 0.44704 |
| MILE PER SECOND | 1609.344 |
| FURLONG PER HOUR | 0.00508 |
| FURLONG PER SECOND | 201.168 |
| KNOT | 0.51444444444444 |
Example: Convert 1 FURLONG_PER_SECOND to MILE_PER_HOUR
FURLONG_PER_SECOND Factor = 201.168
MILE_PER_HOUR Factor = 0.44704
1 FURLONG_PER_SECOND = (1 * 201.168) / 0.44704 = 450 MILE_PER_HOUR
