Kilometers Per Day

Definition of Kilometers Per Day

Kilometers per day (km/d) is a unit of speed that measures how fast something is moving in terms of kilometers per unit of time. It is a metric unit that is derived from the base unit of length, the kilometer, and the base unit of time, the day. It is rarely used however, as the units of kilometers per hour and meters per second are considered sufficient for most situations.

One kilometer per day is equal to 0.011574074074074 meters per second, or 0.041666666666667 kilometers per hour. It can also be converted to other units of speed, such as miles per hour, feet per second, or knots, by using appropriate conversion factors.

How to Convert Kilometers Per Day

To convert kilometers per day to other units of speed, we need to multiply or divide by the corresponding conversion factors. For example, to convert kilometers per day to miles per hour, we need to multiply by 0.0254, since there are 0.0254 miles in one kilometer. To convert kilometers per day to meters per second, we need to multiply by 0.011574074074074, since there are 0.011574074074074 meters in one kilometer.

Here are some examples of how to convert kilometers per day to other units of length in the US Standard system and the SI system:

  • To convert 10 km/d to miles per hour (mph), we multiply by 0.0254: 10 km/d x 0.0254 = 0.254 mph
  • To convert 20 km/d to feet per second (fps), we multiply by 0.0378788, since there are 0.037878788 feet in one meter: 20 km/d x 0.037878788 = 0.75757576 fps
  • To convert 30 km/d to knots (kn), we multiply by 0.0218645833, since there are 0.021864583 nautical miles in one kilometer: 30 km/d x 0.0218645833 = 0.6559375 kn
  • To convert 40 km/d to meters per second (m/s), we multiply by 0.011574074074074: 40 km/d x 0.011574074074074 = 0.462962962963 m/s
  • To convert 50 km/d to meters per minute (m/min), we multiply by 0.6944444, since there are 0.6944444 minutes in one hour: 50 km/d x 0.6944444 = 34.722222 m/min
  • To convert 60 km/d to centimeters per second (cm/s), we multiply by 100, since there are 100 centimeters in one meter, and multiply by 0.011574074074074: 60 km/d x 100 x 0.011574074074074 = 69.444444 cm/s

Where Kilometers Per Day Are Used

Kilometers per day are mainly used for measuring the average speed or distance traveled by an object or phenomenon over a period of time that is measured in days or longer. They are often used in fields such as travel, fitness, sports, and geography, where the speed or distance traveled by an object or phenomenon is measured in terms of kilometers per unit of time.

For example, a person may travel an average of 100 km/d on a road trip across a country, which means that they cover an average distance of 100 kilometers in one day. A runner may run an average of 5 km/d as part of their training routine, which means that they run a distance of 5 kilometers in one day. A planet may have an orbital velocity of thousands of kilometers per day, which means that it covers thousands of kilometers along its orbit in one day.

Kilometers per day are also used in some other fields where the speed or distance traveled by an object or phenomenon is measured in terms of kilometers per unit of time.

History of Kilometers Per Day

The origin of kilometers per day as a unit of speed can be traced back to the development of the metric system and the kilometer as a unit of length in the late eighteenth century. The kilometer was defined as one thousand meters based on the French standard meter.

The term kilometer first appeared in English in 1810, but it was not until later in the mid-late 19 th century that the use of kilometers per day became more common; before that, other units such as miles per day or leagues per day were preferred for expressing speed.

Kilometers per day have been used ever since as a standard unit of speed for measuring the average speed or distance traveled by an object or phenomenon over a period of time that is measured in days or longer. They have also been adopted by some international organizations and conventions, such as the International System of Units and the International Astronomical Union.

  • To convert 400 km/d to meters per second, we multiply by 0.011574074074074: 400 km/d x 0.011574074074074 = 4.62962962963 m/s
  • To convert 500 km/d to meters per minute, we multiply by 0.6944444: 500 km/d x 0.6944444 = 347.22222 m/min
  • To convert 600 km/d to centimeters per second, we multiply by 100 and multiply by 0.011574074: 600 km/d x 100 x 0.01157407 = 694.44444 cm/s
  • To convert 700 km/d to millimeters per minute, we multiply by 1000, since there are 1000 millimeters in one meter, and multiply by 0.6944444: 700 km/d x 1000 x 0.6944444 = 486111.111 mm/min
Kilometers per day also can be marked as kilometer/day and Kilometres per day (alternative British English spelling in UK).

Knots

Definition of Knots

Knots, commonly denoted kn, is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, exactly 1.852 km/h (approximately 1.151 mph or 0.514 m/s). It is the standard unit of speed used in meteorology, and in maritime and air navigation. A vessel travelling at 1 kn along a meridian travels approximately one minute of geographic latitude in one hour.

How to Convert Knots

To convert knots to other units of speed, we need to multiply or divide by the corresponding conversion factors. For example, to convert knots to kilometers per hour, we need to multiply by 1.852, since there are 1.852 kilometers in one nautical mile. To convert knots to meters per second, we need to divide by 3.6, since there are 3.6 seconds in one hour.

Here are some examples of how to convert knots to other units of length in the US Standard system and the SI system:

  • To convert 10 kn to kilometers per hour (km/h), we multiply by 1.852: 10 kn x 1.852 = 18.52 km/h
  • To convert 20 kn to miles per hour (mph), we multiply by 1.1507794480235, since there are 1.1507794480235 miles in one nautical mile: 20 kn x 1.1507794480235 = 23.01558896047 mph
  • To convert 30 kn to feet per second (fps), we multiply by 1.6878098571012, since there are 1.6878098571012 feet in one meter: 30 kn x 1.6878098571012 = 50.634295713036 fps
  • To convert 40 kn to meters per second (m/s), we divide by 3.6: 40 kn / 3.6 = 11.111111111111 m/s
  • To convert 50 kn to meters per minute (m/min), we multiply by 60, since there are 60 minutes in one hour: 50 kn x 60 = 3,000 m/min
  • To convert 60 kn to centimeters per second (cm/s), we multiply by 100, since there are 100 centimeters in one meter, and divide by 3.6: 60 kn x 100 / 3.6 = 5,000 cm/s

Where Knots Are Used

Knots are used in various fields of science and technology where the speed and direction of movement of objects or phenomena are measured or applied in relation to water or air currents. For example:

  • In meteorology, knots are used to measure wind speed and direction, as well as the speed and direction of storms, hurricanes, and other weather phenomena.
  • In maritime navigation, knots are used to measure the speed and direction of ships, boats, submarines, and other watercraft, as well as the speed and direction of ocean currents, tides, and waves.
  • In air navigation, knots are used to measure the speed and direction of aircraft, helicopters, rockets, satellites, and other aerospace vehicles, as well as the speed and direction of air currents, jet streams, and wind shear.

History of Knots

The origin of knots as a unit of speed can be traced back to the ancient practice of measuring the speed of ships by using a device called a chip log or log-line. This device consisted of a wooden board attached to a rope with knots tied at regular intervals along its length. The board was thrown overboard from the stern of the ship and allowed to drag behind it while the rope was let out for a fixed amount of time (usually measured by a sandglass). The number of knots that passed over the rail of the ship during that time indicated the speed of the ship in nautical miles per hour.

The first recorded use of this method was by the Phoenicians around the second millennium BCE. The device was later improved and standardized by various civilizations such as the Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Vikings, Chinese, and Europeans. The length of the nautical mile and the spacing of the knots varied from place to place and from time to time until they were fixed by international agreement in the late nineteenth century.

The term knot was derived from the Old English word cnotta meaning “a knot”. It was first used as a unit of speed by English sailors in the early seventeenth century.

Example Conversions of Knots to Other Units

Here are some examples of how to convert knots to other units of speed, using the conversion factors given above:

  • To convert 100 kn to kilometers per hour, we multiply by 1.852: 100 kn x 1.852 = 185.2 km/h
  • To convert 200 kn to miles per hour, we multiply by 1.1507794480235: 200 kn x 1.1507794480235 = 230.15589792094 mph
  • To convert 300 kn to feet per second, we multiply by 1.6878098571012: 300 kn x 1.6878098571012 = 506.34295713011 fps
  • To convert 400 kn to meters per second, we divide by 3.6: 400 kn / 3.6 = 111.11111111111 m/s
  • To convert 500 kn to meters per minute, we multiply by 60: 500 kn x 60 = 30,000 m/min
  • To convert 600 kn to centimeters per second, we multiply by 100 and divide by 3.6: 600 kn x 100 / 3.6 = 50,000 cm/s
  • To convert 700 kn to millimeters per minute, we multiply by 1000, since there are 1000 millimeters in one meter, and multiply by 60: 700 kn x 1000 x 60 = 42,000,000 mm/min
Knots can be also marked as kn. 1 international knot = 1 nautical mile per hour.
