Frequently Asked Questions - Time Distance Calculator
The fundamental formula is Distance = Speed × Time. From this: Speed = Distance ÷ Time, and Time = Distance ÷ Speed. For example: traveling 120 miles at 60 mph takes 2 hours (120 ÷ 60 = 2). These relationships help solve any travel calculation problem.
Common conversions: 1 mph = 1.609 km/h = 0.447 m/s. 1 km/h = 0.621 mph = 0.278 m/s. 1 knot = 1.151 mph = 1.852 km/h. Our calculator automatically handles these conversions, so you can input values in any unit and get results in your preferred format.
Calculations are mathematically precise, but real-world factors affect accuracy. Add 10-20% extra time for city driving, traffic lights, and congestion. Highway driving is typically more predictable. Consider weather, road conditions, vehicle performance, and mandatory breaks for long trips.
Include break time (15 minutes every 2 hours recommended), fuel stops, meal breaks, and rest periods. Account for speed limits, traffic patterns, construction zones, and time zone changes. Use average speeds: highways 55-70 mph, city 25-35 mph, rural 35-55 mph depending on conditions.
Each mode has typical speeds: walking 3-4 mph, cycling 10-15 mph, cars 25-70 mph, trains 50-200 mph, commercial flights 500-600 mph. Consider acceleration/deceleration, stops, boarding time for planes/trains, and route directness. Our calculator provides baseline calculations that you can adjust for specific conditions.
