Knot

Definition: A knot is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, where a nautical mile is approximately 1.15 statute miles (1.852 kilometers). It is primarily used in maritime and aviation contexts.

History/origin: The term 'knot' originated from the practice of sailors measuring the speed of a ship by dropping a log attached to a rope with knots tied at regular intervals into the water. The number of knots that passed over the stern of the ship in a fixed amount of time indicated the ship's speed.

Current use: Knots are used for navigation by ships and aircraft. It remains the standard unit of speed in maritime and aviation, especially for measuring wind speed, currents, and the speed of vessels at sea or in the air.

Mile per hour

Definition: Mile per hour (m/h or mph) is a unit of speed, expressing the number of miles travelled in one hour. It is commonly used for measuring the speed of vehicles, especially in countries that use the imperial system, such as the United States and the United Kingdom.

History/origin: Mile per hour is derived from the imperial system of measurement, based on the mile as a unit of distance and the hour as a unit of time. It is historically tied to the British Empire and its influence.

Current use: Mph is widely used in road signage, vehicle speedometers, and everyday conversation about speed in countries like the US and UK. It is also used in weather reports and sports, such as baseball, to describe the speed of a thrown ball.
