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.

Example Conversions of Kilometers Per Day to Other Units

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

  • To convert 100 km/d to miles per hour, we multiply by 0.0254: 100 km/d x 0.0254 = 2.54 mph
  • To convert 200 km/d to feet per second, we multiply by 0.037878788: 200 km/d x 0.037878788 = 7.5757576 fps
  • To convert 300 km/d to knots, we multiply by 0.0218645833: 300 km/d x 0.0218645833 = 6.559375 kn
  • 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).

Kilometers per minute: A unit of speed

Kilometers per minute (km/min) is a unit of speed or velocity in the International System of Units (SI). It measures how fast an object is moving by calculating the distance traveled in kilometers divided by the time taken in minutes. For example, if a train travels 3 kilometers in 2 minutes, its speed is 1.5 km/min.

How to convert kilometers per minute

Kilometers per minute can be converted to other units of speed or velocity by using simple conversion factors. Here are some common units and their conversion factors:

  • Meters per second (m/s): To convert from km/min to m/s, multiply by 16.6667. To convert from m/s to km/min, divide by 16.6667. For example, 1 km/min is equal to 16.6667 m/s, and 10 m/s is equal to 0.6 km/min.
  • Kilometers per hour (km/h): To convert from km/min to km/h, multiply by 60. To convert from km/h to km/min, divide by 60. For example, 1 km/min is equal to 60 km/h, and 50 km/h is equal to 0.833333 km/min.
  • Miles per hour (mph): To convert from km/min to mph, multiply by 37.2823. To convert from mph to km/min, divide by 37.2823. For example, 1 km/min is equal to 37.2823 mph, and 30 mph is equal to 0.804672 km/min.
  • Knots (kn): To convert from km/min to kn, multiply by 32.3974. To convert from kn to km/min, divide by 32.3974. For example, 1 km/min is equal to 32.3974 kn, and 15 kn is equal to 0.462963 km/min.
  • Feet per minute (ft/min): To convert from km/min to ft/min, multiply by 3280.8399. To convert from ft/min to km/min, divide by 3280.8399. For example, 1 km/min is equal to 3280.8399 ft/min, and 10 ft/min is equal to 0.003048 km/min.
  • Inches per minute (in/min): To convert from km/min to in/min, multiply by 39370.0787. To convert from in/min to km/min, divide by 39370.0787. For example,1 km/min is equal to 39370.0787 in/min, and 20 in/min is equal to 0.000508 km/min.

Where kilometers per minute are used

Kilometers per minute are mainly used in transportation and sports to measure the speed or velocity of vehicles and athletes.

For example, the maximum speed of a Formula One car is about 5 km/min or about 300 km/h.

The average speed of a marathon runner is about 0.35 km/min or about 21 km/h.

The cruising speed of a commercial jet airliner is about 16.67 km/min or about 1000 km/h.

Definition of kilometers per minute

According to the SI definition, one kilometer per minute is the speed of a body that covers a distance of one kilometer in a time of one minute.

Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

where v is the speed or velocity in kilometers per minute, s is the distance traveled in kilometers, and t is the time taken in minutes.

History of kilometers per minute

The concept of speed or velocity has been studied since ancient times by philosophers and scientists such as Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, etc.

The kilometer was originally derived from the French kilometer which was defined as one thousand meters.

The minute was originally derived from the Babylonian sexagesimal system which divided an hour into sixty minutes.

The combination of these two units resulted in the kilometer per minute as a unit of speed or velocity.

The kilometer per minute was officially adopted as part of the SI system in 1960.
