What unit is used to describe speed?

Answer 1

speed is measured in revolutions per second, revolutions per minute, or revolutions per hour, typically

Answer 2

Any speed is measured in units of distance over units of time, such as miles per hour, kilometers per minute, Angstroms per microsecond, absent a need for a specific dimension according to how the information is to be used (e.g., furlongs per day, knots).

Sometimes speed is also related to direction, sometimes called "velocity".

Others have mentioned certain PARTS of the units used to measure speed:

Kilometer, meter, miles, hour and second

Answer 3

There is more than one unit you can use.

Scientists normally use metres per second(m/s).

Vehicle speeds are normally measured in Kilometres per hour (Km/Hr).

Answer 4

(Any unit of length) divided by (any unit of time) is a unit of speed.

The most common units used to describe speed are:

"feet per second"

"meters per second"

"kilometer per hour"

"mile per hour" . . . . . (statute miles per hour)

"knot" . . . . . . . . . . . . (nautical miles per hour)

Answer 5

[ (any unit of length or distance) divided by (any unit of time) ] is a unit of speed.

Some units of speed include

-- mile per hour

-- kilometer per hour

-- feet per second

-- meters per second

-- furlong per fortnight

-- inches per minute

-- light years per century

Answer 6

Knots, meters per second,miles per hour.

Speed is measured in m/s (meters per second) in SI units.

Answer 7

speed is measured in revolutions per second, revolutions per minute, or revolutions per hour, typically

Answer 8

Metres per second ( m/s ) are the unit used for speed.

Answer 9

distance,time
