Calculate speed, distance, or time from the other two values
Calculate how long a 400km drive at 100km/h will take — about 4 hours, plus rest stops for your travel plan.
To finish a marathon (42.195km) in 4 hours, you need about 10.5km/h or ~5:42 per kilometer pace.
A 1,200km flight at 900km/h average speed takes about 1 hour 20 minutes.
Divide km/h by 3.6 to get m/s. For example, 108 km/h = 30 m/s. Multiply m/s by 3.6 to get km/h.
Average speed is total distance divided by total time. Instantaneous speed is speed at a specific moment. This calculator uses average speed (uniform motion).
1 mile = approximately 1.609 km. Multiply mph by 1.609 for km/h, or divide km/h by 1.609 for mph.
The speed of light is approximately 299,792,458 m/s (~300,000 km/s), or about 1,079,252,849 km/h. It's the fastest speed in physics.
At standard conditions (sea level, 15°C), Mach 1 is approximately 343 m/s or about 1,235 km/h. Mach numbers are commonly used for aircraft speeds.
This calculator is for uniform motion (constant speed) only. Acceleration requires a different formula: a = Δv/Δt, using initial speed, final speed, and time.
