Convert Between Units of Speed
Speed and velocity conversions are common in transportation, fluids, and equipment specifications.
About Speed Conversions
Helpful context and notes for converting Speed units.
Speed and velocity conversions are common in transportation, fluids, and equipment specifications.
Velocity values may be reported in mph, ft/s, m/s, or km/h depending on application.
Velocity units may imply direction or reference frame. Confirm assumptions when converting for analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
Speed and velocity conversions are exact when unit definitions are applied correctly.
Yes, for reference and checking, but final analyses should be reviewed independently.
Speed describes magnitude only, while velocity includes direction.
Transportation, fluids, and physics often use different units depending on context.
No. Speed and acceleration represent different physical quantities.
Fun Fact
Bees can fly higher than Mount Everest (29,029 ft), tiny airborne overachievers that they are.
