Speed Formula

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed is the rate of distance covered per unit time.

Frequently Asked Questions

The three formulas are: Speed = Distance / Time, Distance = Speed x Time, and Time = Distance / Speed. These are fundamental kinematics equations used in physics, travel planning, and everyday calculations like estimating arrival times.

Divide total distance by total time. If you drove 150 miles in 3 hours, your average speed was 50 mph. Note that average speed differs from instantaneous speed - you may have gone faster or slower at different points.

Keep units consistent! If using kilometers for distance, use hours for time to get km/h, or seconds to get m/s. Our calculator handles unit conversions automatically - just select your preferred input and output units.

Conversion factors: 1 mph is approximately 1.609 km/h or 0.447 m/s. To convert mph to km/h, multiply by 1.609. To convert km/h to m/s, divide by 3.6. Our calculator does these conversions automatically.
