The speed of an object (e.g. vehicle / car) is calculated based on the distance to be traveled and the time required to do so. The formula for the calculation is therefore: v = s / t. It is therefore also given in distance/time, such as m/s or km/h.

The speed calculator only takes into account constant speeds (uniform movement). Acceleration or uniform acceleration is not taken into account.
Formula: Calculate speed
Formula: v = s / t
The distance (s) is given in meters. The time (t) is given in seconds. The speed (v) is therefore calculated in meters per second.
Example calculation: 2,000 m / 120 s = 16.6 m/s
