Distance: Speed Conversion Calculator

This calculator helps you estimate the distance travelled after a certain time of constant speed. It also converts to alternative speed units: mile/hr, km/h, m/s, mach, ...

Speed

METRIC (DECIMAL)

Most countries use the Metric System, which uses the measuring units such as meters and grams and adds prefixes like kilo, milli and centi to count orders of magnitude.

  • Speed = 51.4 m/s
  • Speed = 5.14 * 101 m/s (scientific)
  • Speed = 51.39 m/s (engineering)
  • IMPERIAL

    In the USA and UK, the older Imperial system is used, where things are measured in feet, inches and pounds.

  • Speed = 185 004 m/hr
  • Speed = 169 ft/sec
  • Time

  • Time = 1.00 secs = 1 sec
  • = 1 sec(s)
  • Speed x Time = Distance

  • Distance = 51.4 meter
  • = 51.39 * 103 mm
  • = 5.14 * 103 cm
  • = 2.02 * 103 in
  • = 168.6 ft
  • = 56.2 yard
  • = 51.39 m
  • = 51.39 * 10-3 km
  • = 31.93 * 10-3 mile
  • = 27.75 * 10-3 nautical mile
