  2. Foot–pound–second system of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot–pound–second...

    Molar units. The unit of substance in the FPS system is the pound-mole (lb-mol) = 273.16 × 1024. Until the SI decided to adopt the gram-mole, the mole was directly derived from the mass unit as (mass unit)/ (atomic mass unit). The unit (lbf⋅s 2 /ft)-mol also appears in a former definition of the atmosphere.

  3. Foot per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_per_second

    km/h. 1.0973. The foot per second (plural feet per second) is a unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity, which includes direction). [1] It expresses the distance in feet (ft) traveled or displaced, divided by the time in seconds (s). [2] The corresponding unit in the International System of Units (SI) is the meter per second ...

    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.

    The knot (/ nɒt /) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, exactly 1.852 km/h (approximately 1.151 mph or 0.514 m/s). [1][2] The ISO standard symbol for the knot is kn. [3] The same symbol is preferred by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), while kt is also common, especially in aviation, where it is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_velocity

    Muzzle velocity. Muzzle velocity is the speed of a projectile (bullet, pellet, slug, ball / shots or shell) with respect to [1] the muzzle at the moment it leaves the end of a gun 's barrel (i.e. the muzzle). [2] Firearm muzzle velocities range from approximately 120 m/s (390 ft/s) to 370 m/s (1,200 ft/s) in black powder muskets, [3] to more ...

  8. Speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed

    L T−1. In kinematics, the speed (commonly referred to as v) of an object is the magnitude of the change of its position over time or the magnitude of the change of its position per unit of time; it is thus a scalar quantity. [1] The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance travelled by the object divided by the ...

  9. Frame rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_rate

    Frame rate, most commonly expressed in frames per second or FPS, is typically the frequency (rate) at which consecutive images (frames) are captured or displayed. This definition applies to film and video cameras, computer animation, and motion capture systems. In these contexts, frame rate may be used interchangeably with frame frequency and ...
