Speed of sound travel
The speed of sound depends on the properties of the medium through which it travels. In dry air at 59°F (15°C) at the sea level it is equal to 1 Ma (Mach 1 = 1225km/h = 761mph)
Earth Escape Velocity
Escape Velocity is the speed needed to "break free" from a gravitational field of the object (Earth, Sun etc.). The speed needed to leave gravitational field of the Earth is about 11.19 km/s = 25031 mph
Speed Of Light Travel
The speed of light depends on the properties of the medium through which it travels. For example, speed of light in water equals about 3/4 of c. The speed of the light in perfect vacuum equals c = 299,792,458 m/s = 670,616,629 mph

mph vs. kph (km/h) Example
If your speed or velocity is given in miles per hour (mph) and you want to translate it into kilometers per hour (km/h) type your mph value into edit box labeled 'miles per hour'. Convertion will start automatically as you type, translated value in km/h will be displayed in the edit box labeled 'Kilometers per hour'. On the other hand, km/h to mph conversion starts when you type value of km/h in the edit box labeled 'kilometers per hour'.
