Speed Calculator
About Speed Calculator
The Speed Calculator helps you find the speed of an object based on distance and time. It’s a simple yet powerful tool for students, travelers, drivers, and athletes who want to calculate average speed or convert between km/h, mph, and m/s.
Speed Calculation Formula›
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
The speed formula measures how fast an object moves over a given distance. For example, if you travel 100 km in 2 hours, your average speed is 50 km/h.
Example:
Input: A car travels 180 km in 3 hours.
Output: Speed = 180 ÷ 3 = 60 km/h.
Steps to Use:
- Enter the distance covered (in km, miles, or meters).
- Enter the time taken (in hours, minutes, or seconds).
- Click 'Calculate' to find the average speed.
- Use the converter to change units between km/h, mph, or m/s.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is speed?›
Speed is the rate at which an object covers distance. It shows how fast something is moving, usually measured in km/h, mph, or m/s.
How do I calculate speed manually?›
Divide the distance traveled by the time taken. For example, 120 km ÷ 2 hours = 60 km/h.
Can I convert speed units using this calculator?›
Yes. You can convert between common units such as kilometers per hour (km/h), miles per hour (mph), and meters per second (m/s).
What is the difference between speed and velocity?›
Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity that includes direction.
Where is this calculator useful?›
It’s commonly used in physics, travel planning, running or cycling tracking, and vehicle performance analysis.
