| Unit Category | Units | Conversion Factor | Decsription (if necessary)
|
| Acceleration | Km/h per second into Meters per second² | 0.2777778 | Kilometers per hour gained every second, converted to meters per second gained per second. Alternatively, divide by 3.6.
|
| Angle | Degrees into Radians | 0.01745329 | Alternatively, divide by 57.29578.
|
| Energy (Torque) | Foot-Pounds (FT-LBS) into Kilogram Meters (KgM) | 0.138255 | Alternative, divide by 7.2330114.
|
| Energy (Torque) | Foot-Pounds (FT-LBS) into Newton Meters (NM) | 1.355818 | Alt, div by 0.73756212
|
| Energy (Torque) | Kilogram Meters (KgM) into Newton Meters (NM) | 9.80665 | Alt, div 0.101971621
|
| Length | Meters to Inches | 39.37008 | Div 0.0254.
|
| Length | Feet into Inches | 12 | 0.08333r
|
| Length | Miles (International) into Kilometers | 1.609344 | 0.621371192
|
| Linear Velocity | Km/H into Meters per Second | 0.2777778 | 3.6
|
| Power | Horsepower (British) into KiloWatts | 0.745701 | 1.34102
|
| Pressure | Bar into KiloPascal | 100 | 0.01
|
| Pressure | Bar into Pound force/Inch² (PSI) | 14.5038 | .145038 for KPa to PSI. PSI into Bar, 0.0689474
|
| Temperature | Celcius to Kelvin | K = C + 273.15 | Kelvin is an absolute temperature. Expansion rates of materials are linear using this scale. 0 Kevlin is absolute 0, no lower can be acheived. Atoms stop moving at this temperature.
|
| Temperature | Fahrenheit to Celcius | C = (F - 32) * 5/9 | Degrees °C to Deg. °F (F = C * 9/5 + 32)
|
| Temperature | Fahrenheit to Rankine | R = F + 459.67 | Rankine is the absolute temperature using the 'fahrenheit scale'.
|
| Volume | Gallons (US, Liquid) into Liters (decimeters³) | 3.785412 | Decimeters are 1/10th of a normal meter. A cubic meter will therefore be 1000x larger, 1*10³. 1 liter is 10x10x10 centimeters, this can be used to determine the fuel tank size (how much room it will occupy).
|
| Weight | Tons into Kilograms | 1000 |
|
| Weight | Pounds (avdp) into Kilograms | 0.4535929 | AVDP is the widely used pound weight.
|
| Weight | Stones to Kilograms | 6.350301 | Could be used to determine driver weight.

The alternative division can be determined by simply dividing 1 by the Conversion Factor.
There are many more prefixes, in terms of vehicle physics, these are more commonly used than the others (even though many of these are infrequently used).
