Basically, you can divide any unit of length by any unit of time. The standard SI unit is meters/second, but kilometers/hour are also commonly used worldwide. In the United States, miles/hour are used instead; but it is possible to use any unit of distance, divided by any unit of time, e.g. meters/minute, millimeters/year, parsecs / million years, astronomical units / month. (The slash, /, is usually read as "per" in English.)
There are also specific units that don't directly derived from distance and time, such as knots, or (in the natural system of units), the speed of an object compared to the speed of light.

What are the four units of speed?
The four units of speed are meters per second (m/s), kilometers per hour (km/h), miles per hour (mph), and feet per second (ft/s). Each unit represents a different measurement of speed based on distance traveled in a given time period.
When comparing the speed of two objects why must you use the same units?
Speed consists of distance over time. You have to use the same measures of distance and time or the comparison is meaningless. You have to agree on the units in advance, or you have to convert to them.
What are possible units of speed and velocity?
Units of speed include meters per second (m/s) and kilometers per hour (km/h). Units of velocity are the same as speed, but they also include direction, such as 10 m/s east.
What is units for wave speed?
The same unit meant for velocity ie m/s.
What is the formula and units for average speed?
Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken. The units for average speed are typically distance units divided by time units, such as meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h). The formula for average speed is: ( \text{Average speed} = \frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}} ).
Are Speed and Response time could be kinetic energy?
No. Speed, time, and energy are three quite different units.No. Speed, time, and energy are three quite different units.No. Speed, time, and energy are three quite different units.No. Speed, time, and energy are three quite different units.
why we use variable speed drivers in motor control units?
Variable speed drivers are necessary to be able to have different speed settings in a motor.
How many hours are equal to 219 miles?
You can not convert between units of time and units of length - they measure completely different things. If it is a speed problem, you must know ore assume the speed, then divide the number of miles by the speed.
What are four ways to write the speed of a baseball?
I am not at all sure what you mean; you might use four different speed units for example.
What are the four units of speed?

What are the units for rotational speed?
the units for rotational speed are radians / sec or degrees / sec
Why the units of velocity and speed are same?
because they measure different aspects of the same thing, velocity also has direction but speed lacks direction. otherwise they are the same.
What are 3 different units for speed?
Miles per hour Kilometer per hour Ft per sec
What is the unit for measuring?
That depends on what you're trying to measure. Volume, weight, speed, etc. all have different units of measurement.
Which is the functional unit of the metric system?
I have no idea what you mean with "functional unit". The SI has units to measure lots of different things; basically there are seven base units (such as the meter, the second, and the kilogram), and several dozen derived units, i.e., units derived from the base units, for example meters/second for speed.
Is it possible for two quantities to have the same dimensions but different units?
No. Measurement units are defined by and conversely. So the same units necessarily means same dimensions.
