Speed Conversion FAQ
How do I convert mph to km/h?
Multiply the mph value by 1.60934 to get km/h. For example, 60 mph = 96.56 km/h. This is commonly needed for international driving.
What are knots and how do they relate to mph?
Knots are nautical miles per hour, primarily used in aviation and maritime navigation. 1 knot = 1.15078 mph or 1.852 km/h.
What is Mach number in the speed table?
Mach number represents the ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound (approximately 343 m/s at sea level). Mach 1 = speed of sound.
