Kilometer(s) per hour (or kph) was a unit of velocity. By definition, an object traveling at a speed of one kph for an hour would move one kilometer.
The wind speeds encountered on Archer IV reached gusts of 80 kph. (ENT: "Strange New World")
According to Saru, "Kelpiens pursued by apex predators have exceeded speeds of 80 kilometers per hour." He stated this fact, when noting that he could travel the remainder of the thirty kilometers they had to travel the distance in a mere fifteen minutes. (DIS: "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum")
The fire storms on Bersallis III could, according to Geordi La Forge, "kick up winds of over 200 kilometers per hour and temperatures as high as 300 °C". (TNG: "Lessons")
The lifeboats from Enterprise NX-01 were limited to a maximum speed of 300 kph. (ENT: "Shuttlepod One")
Captain Kathryn Janeway instructed Tom Paris to maneuver USS Voyager inside an organic nebula using reaction control thrusters in drift mode only. Paris announced their speed to be all of 200 kph. (VOY: "The Cloud")
Later Captain Janeway instructed Paris to take Voyager out of orbit of Sikaris at 4,000 kph, however, Paris could not comply because the ship's thrusters were offline. (VOY: "Prime Factors")
While landing Voyager on the surface of a planet from an altitude of one hundred kilometers, Tom Paris piloted the ship on a glide trajectory at a speed of 10,000 kph. (VOY: "The 37's")
In 2372, the USS Defiant entered the atmosphere of a Class J gas giant to rescue the crew of a Karemma ship. The atmosphere of the gas giant had wind speeds of over 10,000 kilometers per hour. (DS9: "Starship Down")
The level 7 ionic front that was encountered by the Delta Flyer in 2375 was traveling at 33,000 kph. Tom Paris requested more power to the thrusters, but was still not able to outrun it. (VOY: "Once Upon a Time")
The Academy trainer crafts flown by Nova Squadron around the time that Cadet Joshua Albert was killed were traveling at a velocity of 80,000 kph. (TNG: "The First Duty")
