Meters per second (m/s)

Definition

Meters per second (m/s) is the SI unit of speed, defined as the distance in meters traveled in one second.

History

Meters per second derives from the two fundamental SI units: the meter (defined 1793) and the second (defined by atomic cesium transitions since 1967). It became the standard scientific speed unit with the adoption of SI.

Current use

Meters per second is the standard unit in physics, engineering, and scientific research. It is used for wind speed measurement, projectile velocity, fluid dynamics, and any context requiring precise speed calculations.

Miles per hour (mph)

Definition

Miles per hour (mph) is an imperial unit of speed expressing the number of statute miles traveled in one hour. 1 mph ≈ 1.60934 km/h.

History

Miles per hour became the standard speed unit as horse-drawn transport gave way to automobiles in the early 20th century. The United States and United Kingdom adopted mph for their road systems.

Current use

Miles per hour is the official unit for road speed limits and vehicle speedometers in the United States, United Kingdom, and a few other countries. It is also used in baseball (pitch speed) and informal speed references.
