Speed Distance Time Calculator
Covering 150 km in 2.5 hours is an average speed of 60 km/h, from speed = distance ÷ time.
60 km/h
- In m/s
- 16.66666667 m/s
- In mph
- 37.28227153 mph
- In ft/s
- 54.68066492 ft/s
- In knots
- 32.39740821 knots
- Pace (minutes per km)
- 1 min/km
- Pace (minutes per mile)
- 1.609344 min/mi
Step-by-step solution
- v = d ÷ t
- v = 150 ÷ 2.5
- v = 60 km/h
Speed Distance Time Formula
v = d / t
v average speed, d distance, t time; d = v × t, t = d / v
Worked Example
A 150 km drive that takes 2 hours 30 minutes:
- v = d ÷ t
- v = 150 ÷ 2.5
- v = 60 km/h
In mph: 37.28227153 mph · In ft/s: 54.68066492 ft/s · In knots: 32.39740821 knots · Pace (minutes per km): 1 min/km · Pace (minutes per mile): 1.609344 min/mi
Converting speed units
Multiply m/s by 3.6 for km/h; 1 mph is exactly 1.609344 km/h; 1 knot is exactly 1.852 km/h. The speed converter covers every unit pair.

T = (v₀ sin θ + √((v₀ sin θ)² + 2gh₀))/g; on level ground R = v₀² sin 2θ / g
Example: A ball kicked at 20 m/s and 45° from ground level (g = 9.80665 m/s²): Range R = 40.7886 m.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate travel time?
Divide distance by speed: 150 km at 60 km/h takes 2.5 h, which is 2 h 30 min. Choose “time” and the calculator shows hours and minutes.
Is average speed the average of the speeds?
Not in general. Driving 60 km at 60 km/h and 60 km at 30 km/h takes 3 h for 120 km, an average of 40 km/h, not 45 km/h.
What is pace?
Pace is time per distance, the reciprocal of speed: 12 km/h is 5 minutes per kilometre. Runners use it instead of speed.
