Speed is the rate at which an object moves in a specific direction. The two most common units for measuring speed are:
- Kilometers per hour (kph): Used in most countries worldwide that follow the metric system.
- Miles per hour (mph): Primarily used in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The conversion between these units is based on the relationship between kilometers and miles:
1 mile = 1.60934 kilometers
Therefore:
- To convert kph to mph: mph = kph × 0.6214
- To convert mph to kph: kph = mph × 1.6093
71 mph is a common highway speed limit in many countries:
- It is a typical cruising speed for long-distance car travel.
- It’s the speed at which fuel efficiency for many vehicles is optimized.
- Trains and buses often operate close to this speed.
