How to use the Speed
Enter a speed value, select the current unit (km/h, mph, m/s, knots, etc.), choose your target unit, and get instant conversion. Perfect for travel, sports, and physics.
Formula
All speeds convert through metres per second (SI base unit). value_in_m/s = input × from_factor; result = value_in_m/s ÷ to_factor. Exact factors: 1 km/h = 1/3.6 m/s, 1 mph = 0.44704 m/s, 1 knot = 1852/3600 m/s.
History & interesting facts
Did you know?
The knot is used in maritime and aviation. 1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour, based on latitude measurements.
Origin & history
Speed measurements evolved with transportation: walking, then vehicles, then aircraft. The meter/second is the SI unit, but km/h and mph are practical.

Frequently asked questions
What is a knot?
A knot is a unit of speed equal to 1 nautical mile per hour. It is primarily used in maritime and aviation industries.
How fast is 100 km/h in mph?
100 km/h = 62.14 mph. A simple approximation: multiply km/h by 0.62 to get mph.
What is the difference between m/s and km/h?
1 m/s = 3.6 km/h. Meters per second is the SI unit, while kilometers per hour is more practical for everyday use.
