The speed of sound changes with temperature and altitude — about 340 m/s at sea level on a 15°C day, but roughly 295 m/s at cruising altitude. A single fixed factor would look precise while being wrong, so this tool leaves Mach out rather than pretending.
One knot is one nautical mile per hour, which is exactly 1.852 km/h. It is the standard unit in shipping and aviation because a nautical mile matches one minute of latitude on a chart.
Divide by 3.6. So 36 km/h is 10 m/s, and 100 km/h is about 27.8 m/s. Going the other way, multiply by 3.6.
