Speed Distance Time Calculator
Any one of the three from the other two, in four units.
Work out Speed Distance Time. Any one of the three from the other two, in four units. States its idealisation instead of hiding it.
Speed (m/s)
10
36 km/h · 22.37 mph
Speed is distance over time, and the three quantities determine each other completely — any two give the third. The conversions matter more than they look: 10 m/s is 36 km/h, and the factor is exactly 3.6 because there are 3,600 seconds in an hour and 1,000 metres in a kilometre.
How the Speed Distance Time Calculator works
Speed is distance over time, and the three quantities determine each other completely — any two give the third. Results come in m/s, km/h and mph, because the conversion is where most of the mistakes actually happen.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate speed?
Divide distance by time. 100 metres in 10 seconds is 10 m/s.
How do I convert m/s to km/h?
Multiply by 3.6. The factor is exact: 3,600 seconds in an hour divided by 1,000 metres in a kilometre.
How do I convert m/s to mph?
Multiply by 2.23694. So 10 m/s is 22.37 mph.
Is this average speed or instantaneous speed?
Average. It assumes a constant rate over the whole distance, which is what distance divided by time gives you regardless of how the speed varied along the way.
