Calculate average speed from a distance travelled and the time it took.

The math behind it

speed = distance ÷ time. Convert m/s to km/h by ×3.6, or to mph by ×2.237.

Worked Example

100 m in 10 s → 10 m/s = 36 km/h = 22.4 mph.

Frequently Asked Questions

Average vs instantaneous speed?

This gives the average over the whole trip, not the speed at a single moment.
