All Speed Conversions Unit Definition (kilometer/hour) The kilometer/hour (km/h) is the most common metric unit of speed or velocity. It simply means that something travelling at a constant speed of 1km/h will move a distance of exactly 1 kilometer in 1 hour. The correct symbol for this unit is km/h. Unit Definition (knot) The Knot is common unit of velocity or speed, which is mostly referred to at sea as a measurement of boat, wind or water current velocity. One Knot is equal to one nautical mile per hour. The word comes from a former method of measuring a ship's speed, which used a knotted cord called the log line.
