Understanding Speed & Velocity Converter

Speed vs Velocity

Speed is how fast (scalar), velocity includes direction (vector). In everyday use, they're often interchangeable.

Transportation Units

Cars use mph/km/h, aircraft and ships use knots, scientists use m/s.

Maritime and Aviation

Knots relate to latitude navigation. 1 nautical mile = 1 minute of latitude.

Physics/Engineering

Meters per second (m/s) is the SI unit for speed in physics calculations.

Frequently Asked Questions

MPH vs KPH?

1 MPH = 1.609 km/h. Quick: multiply mph by 1.6. US uses mph, most countries use km/h.

What is a knot?

1 knot = 1 nautical mile/hour = 1.852 km/h = 1.151 mph. Used in aviation and maritime.

What is the speed of sound?

Mach 1 ≈ 343 m/s = 767 mph = 1235 km/h at sea level, 20°C. Varies with temperature.

How fast is 100 km/h in mph?

100 km/h = 62.14 mph. Common European highway speed limit.

Why do ships use knots?

Knots relate directly to navigation. 1 nautical mile = 1 minute of latitude on Earth.
