A Velocity & Speed Converter is a tool that helps convert speed or velocity measurements between different units. It can be an online tool for quick calculations or a physical measuring device used in fields like physics, aviation, automotive, and meteorology.
1. Velocity & Speed Converter (Online Tool)
This tool allows conversion between different speed units, such as:
Common Speed Units:
🔹 Meters per second (m/s) – SI unit of speed
🔹 Kilometers per hour (km/h) – Common for vehicle speeds
🔹 Miles per hour (mph) – Used in the U.S. and UK for road speeds
🔹 Feet per second (ft/s) – Used in physics and engineering
🔹 Knots (kt or kn) – Used in aviation and maritime navigation
🔹 Mach (Ma) – Used in aerodynamics (Mach 1 = speed of sound)
Formulae for Speed Conversion:
m/s to km/h:
km/h
=
m/s
×
3.6
km/h=m/s×3.6
km/h to mph:
mph
=
km/h
÷
1.609
mph=km/h÷1.609
mph to knots:
knots
=
mph
×
0.868
knots=mph×0.868
Mach number:
Mach
=
speed
speed of sound (343 m/s in air at 20°C)
Mach=
speed of sound (343 m/s in air at 20°C)
speed
Example Conversions:
1 m/s = 3.6 km/h
100 km/h = 62.14 mph
1 Mach = 1,225 km/h (in air at sea level)
50 mph = 43.45 knots
These converters are useful in automotive, aerospace, and physics applications.
2. Velocity & Speed Measuring Devices
🔹 Speedometers – Measure vehicle speed (mph or km/h)
🔹 Radar Guns – Used by law enforcement to measure vehicle speed
🔹 Anemometers – Measure wind speed in meteorology
🔹 GPS Speed Trackers – Used in navigation and aviation
🔹 Doppler Radar – Used in weather forecasting and velocity analysis
