  2. Miles per hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_per_hour

    0.44704. Miles per hour (mph, m.p.h., MPH, or mi/h) is a British imperial and United States customary unit of speed expressing the number of miles travelled in one hour. It is used in the United Kingdom, the United States, and a number of smaller countries, most of which are UK or US territories, or have close historical ties with the UK or US.

  3. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    Because of the identity property of multiplication, multiplying any quantity (physical or not) by the dimensionless 1 does not change that quantity. [5] Once this and the conversion factor for seconds per hour have been multiplied by the original fraction to cancel out the units mile and hour, 10 miles per hour converts to 4.4704 metres per second.

  4. Metre per hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre_per_hour

    Metre per hour (American spelling: meter per hour) is a metric unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (Vector (geometry)). Its symbol is m/h or m·h−1 (not to be confused with the imperial unit symbol mph). By definition, an object travelling at a speed of 1 m/h for an hour would move 1 metre. The term is rarely used however as the units of ...

    3.2808. The metre per second is the unit of both speed (a scalar quantity) and velocity (a vector quantity, which has direction and magnitude) in the International System of Units (SI), equal to the speed of a body covering a distance of one metre in a time of one second. According to the definition of metre, [1] 1 m/s is exactly of the speed ...

    Wind speed conversion factors. Meteorological data includes wind speeds which may be expressed as statute miles per hour, knots, or meters per second. Here are the conversion factors for those various expressions of wind speed: 1 m/s = 2.237 statute mile/h = 1.944 knots. 1 knot = 1.151 statute mile/h = 0.514 m/s.

    If the body's speed v is much less than c, then reduces to E = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ m 0 v 2 + m 0 c 2; that is, the body's total energy is simply its classical kinetic energy (⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ m 0 v 2) plus its rest energy.

    On many kinds of disc recording media, the rotational speed of the medium under the read head is a standard given in rpm. Phonograph (gramophone) records, for example, typically rotate steadily at 16 + 2 ⁄ 3, 33 + 1 ⁄ 3, 45 rpm or 78 rpm (0.28, 0.55, 0.75, or 1.3, respectively, in Hz). Air turbine rotating up to 1 500 000 rpm (25 kHz)
