Speed Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator computes speed in kilometers per hour based on distance traveled and time taken.
Purpose: It helps drivers, athletes, and travelers determine their average speed for trip planning or performance analysis.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The distance traveled is divided by the time taken to complete the journey.
Details: Knowing your speed helps with fuel efficiency calculations, travel time estimation, and maintaining safe driving speeds.
Tips: Enter the distance in kilometers and time in hours. For partial hours (e.g., 30 minutes), use 0.5 hours.
Q1: How do I convert minutes to hours?
A: Divide minutes by 60 (e.g., 45 minutes = 45/60 = 0.75 hours).
Q2: Can I use this for running or cycling speed?
A: Yes, it works for any activity where you know the distance and time.
Q3: What if I have speed and want to find distance or time?
A: Rearrange the formula: Distance = Speed × Time or Time = Distance / Speed.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It gives average speed over the entire distance. It doesn't account for speed variations during the trip.
Q5: Can I calculate mph instead of km/h?
A: Convert km to miles (1 km = 0.621371 miles) or use our MPH calculator.
