Linear Speed Calculator

How to Use the Linear Speed Calculator

This guide will help you use the Linear Speed Calculator to determine speed based on distance and time inputs. Follow the steps below to calculate speed in various units.

Step 1: Enter the Distance

• Distance: Start by entering the distance you want to evaluate in the designated distance field. This field accepts numerical values and requires a minimum input of 0.
• Select Distance Unit: In the drop-down menu next to the distance input, select the unit that corresponds to your distance measurement. Options available include:
  • Meters (m)
  • Kilometers (km)
  • Miles (mi)
  • Feet (ft)

Step 2: Enter the Time

• Time: Enter the time duration taken to cover the entered distance. This should also be provided as a numerical value, with a minimum required input of 0.
• Select Time Unit: Choose the appropriate time unit for your measurement from the following options:
  • Seconds (s)
  • Minutes (min)
  • Hours (h)

Step 3: Calculate the Speed

After you have entered the distance, selected its unit, entered the time, and selected its unit, the calculator will automatically compute the speed based on your inputs. The speed will be displayed in three different units:

• Speed (m/s): This result shows the speed in meters per second. The calculator uses the formula (distance * distanceUnit) / (time * timeUnit) to provide this value, formatted to two decimal places with a suffix ” m/s”.
• Speed (km/h): Converted to kilometers per hour, the calculation uses the same values but multiplies by 3.6. The result is also formatted to two decimal places with a suffix ” km/h”.
• Speed (mph): This value indicates speed in miles per hour and is derived from the standard formula multiplied by 2.23694. The result is presented with precision up to two decimal places and labeled as ” mph”.
