mph to kmh

Understanding Speed Units

• Miles per Hour (MPH): A common unit of speed in the United States and the UK.

• Kilometers per Hour (KMH): The metric unit of speed, used worldwide. Conversion: 1 MPH ≈ 1.609344 KMH

• Meters per Second (M/S): Often used in physics and engineering calculations. Conversion: 1 MPH ≈ 0.44704 M/S (Alternatively, 1 M/S ≈ 2.23694 MPH)

• Knots (KTS): Used primarily in aviation and maritime contexts. Conversion: 1 MPH ≈ 0.868976 Knots (Or, 1 Knot ≈ 1.15078 MPH)

Conversion Formulas and Real‐World Examples

1. MPH to KMH and KMH to MPH
