Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert km/h to mph?

Multiply km/h by 0.621 to get mph. Example: 100 km/h × 0.621 = 62.1 mph. Speed limits: 50 km/h = 31 mph, 100 km/h = 62 mph, 130 km/h = 81 mph.

How many watts are in a kilowatt?

1 kilowatt (kW) = 1000 watts (W). To convert kW to watts, multiply by 1000. Example: 2.5 kW × 1000 = 2500 W. Household appliances: Microwave = 1000W (1kW), AC = 1500W (1.5kW).

How do I convert horsepower to watts?

1 horsepower (HP) = 745.7 watts. Multiply HP by 745.7 to get watts. Example: 100 HP × 745.7 = 74,570 watts (74.57 kW). Car engines: 150 HP = 112 kW.

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Speed is how fast (60 km/h). Velocity is speed with direction (60 km/h north). Speed is scalar, velocity is vector. For conversions, both use the same units (km/h, mph, m/s).

How fast is 100 mph in km/h?

100 mph = 161 km/h. Multiply mph by 1.609 to get km/h. Example: 60 mph = 97 km/h (highway speed), 70 mph = 113 km/h, 100 mph = 161 km/h.
