Speed Converter
About This Speed Converter
This versatile speed conversion tool provides instant calculations between five common units of speed measurement, covering both metric and imperial systems. Perfect for travelers, athletes, engineers, and students, it converts between:
Metric Units:
Meters per second (m/s) – Scientific standard
-
Kilometers per hour (km/h) – Road speeds worldwide
Imperial Units:
-
Miles per hour (mph) – Primary US/UK road speed
-
Feet per second (ft/s) – Engineering applications
-
Knots (kn) – Nautical and aviation speeds
