Metre per second

An SI derived unitspeed (scalar)velocity (vector), defined by distancemetres divided by timesecondss. The unitgiven as m/s or m/sec.

A typical human walking speedabout 1 m/s. Belowspeedabout 2 m/s, itmore efficientwalk thanrun, but above that speed, itmore efficientrun.

The speedlightabout 300,000,000 m/s.

A car travelling at 60 miles per hour (mi/h or informally mph) or 100 kilometers per hour (km/h)going 28 m/s.

The speedsoundair varies accordingair pressuretemperature. Under standard conditions, sound travels through air at about 343 m/s.

1 metre per second = 3.2808 feet per second = 2.2369 miles per hour.

1 m/s = 3.6 km/h
