Visual representation of 490 kph compared to other speeds:
Speed is the rate at which an object moves in a specific direction. The two most common units for measuring speed are:
- Kilometers per hour (kph): Used in most countries worldwide that follow the metric system.
- Miles per hour (mph): Primarily used in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The conversion between these units is based on the relationship between kilometers and miles:
1 mile = 1.60934 kilometers
Therefore:
- To convert kph to mph: mph = kph × 0.6214
- To convert mph to kph: kph = mph × 1.6093
490 kph is an extremely high speed, typically achievable by:
- Concept and experimental vehicles
- Some high-speed trains in limited scenarios
Common speed conversions around 490 kph:
| KPH | MPH | Context |
|---|---|---|
| 450 | 279.6 | Near speed of a high-speed train |
| 480 | 298.3 | Speed of a Formula 1 car on a track |
| 490 | 304.5 | Concept hypercar project |
| 500 | 310.7 | Future hyperloop speed project |
| 530 | 329.3 | Aircraft during takeoff |
