convert_unit

Convert values between 62 physics units across 16 categories including velocity, mass, energy, and temperature. Enter value, source unit, and target unit for accurate conversion.

Instructions

Convert a value from one unit to another.

Supports 62 unit types across 16 categories:
- Velocity: m/s, km/h, mph, ft/s, knots
- Distance: m, km, mi, ft, yd, in
- Mass: kg, g, lb, oz
- Force: N, kN, lbf
- Energy: J, kJ, cal, BTU, kWh
- Power: W, kW, hp
- Temperature: K, C, F
- Angle: rad, deg
- Pressure: Pa, kPa, bar, psi, atm
- Area: m², km², ft², acre
- Volume: m³, L, gal, ft³
- Time: s, min, hr, day
- Acceleration: m/s², g, ft/s²
- Torque: N·m, lb·ft, lb·in
- Frequency: Hz, kHz, MHz, GHz
- Data Size: B, KB, MB, GB

Enables natural language queries like:
- "Convert 60 mph to m/s"
- "How fast is 100 km/h in mph?"
- "Convert 10 kg to pounds"

Args:
    value: The numeric value to convert
    from_unit: Source unit (e.g., 'mph', 'kg', 'J')
    to_unit: Target unit (e.g., 'm/s', 'lb', 'kWh')

Returns:
    Dictionary with:
    - original_value: Input value
    - original_unit: Input unit
    - converted_value: Result value
    - converted_unit: Result unit
    - formatted: Human-readable string

Examples:
    >>> convert_unit(100, 'm/s', 'mph')
    {
        "original_value": 100,
        "original_unit": "m/s",
        "converted_value": 223.694,
        "converted_unit": "mph",
        "formatted": "100 m/s = 223.694 mph"
    }

    >>> convert_unit(60, 'mph', 'km/h')
    {
        "original_value": 60,
        "original_unit": "mph",
        "converted_value": 96.56064,
        "converted_unit": "km/h",
        "formatted": "60 mph = 96.56 km/h"
    }
