About Speed Conversion

Speed is the rate at which an object moves. The most common units of speed are:

Kilometers per hour (kph): Used in most countries around the world that follow the metric system.

Miles per hour (mph): Used primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Meters per second (m/s): The SI unit of speed, commonly used in scientific contexts.

Feet per second (ft/s): Used in some engineering applications in the US.

Knots: Used in maritime and aviation contexts, equal to one nautical mile per hour.
