Average speed equals the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken to cover that distance. The Average Speed Calculator computes this value in miles per hour (mph), kilometers per hour (km/h), meters per second (m/s), and feet per second (ft/s).
Average speed is a scalar quantity — it has magnitude but no direction. A car that drives 200 miles (321.9 km) in 4 hours has an average speed of 50 mph (80.5 km/h), regardless of the route taken or direction changes during the trip.
The Speed Distance Time Calculator uses 3 variables: speed, distance, and time. Knowing any 2 of these values lets you calculate the third using the average speed formula.
