Physics calculator
Speed Distance Time Calculator
Calculate average speed and pace from distance and travel time using metric or imperial units.
Formula
Average speed
Speed = distance / time
100 km in 2.5 hours gives an average speed of 40 km/h; 100 miles in 2.5 hours gives 40 mph.
FAQs
Is this average speed or instant speed?+
It calculates average speed over the whole distance and time entered.
Can I enter miles instead of kilometers?+
Yes. Switch the unit system to Imperial before entering distance in miles.
How does the Speed Distance Time Calculator calculate the result?+
It uses the Average speed: Speed = distance / time. 100 km in 2.5 hours gives an average speed of 40 km/h; 100 miles in 2.5 hours gives 40 mph.
What information do I need to use the Speed Distance Time Calculator?+
