What this calculator does

Speeds are quoted in different units on roads (km/h, mph), at sea and in the air (knots) and in physics (m/s). Convert between them exactly, with Mach as an approximate reference.

Formula and method

1 km/h = 1/3.6 m/s; 1 mph = 0.44704 m/s; 1 knot = 1852/3600 m/s

Worked example

Calculated by this tool with its default inputs:

Inputs

  • Value: 100
  • From: Kilometre per hour (km/h)
  • To: Mile per hour (mph)

Results

  • 100 km/h in mph: 62.1371192237 mph
  • Conversion type: Exact (from defined constants; display rounded to 12 significant figures)
  • 1 km/h =: 0.621371192237 mph

How to read the results

100 km/h is about 62.14 mph.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Mach depends on air temperature; the ISA sea-level value (340.294 m/s) is used and marked approximate.
  • Constants follow NIST SP 811 and the SI Brochure. Conversions marked exact follow from defined values; display is rounded to 12 significant figures.

Questions

What is a knot?

One nautical mile per hour.
