Metre per second
Definition: Metre per second (m/s) is the SI derived unit of speed or velocity, expressing the number of metres travelled in one second. It is a fundamental unit in physics and engineering.
History/origin: The metre per second is derived from the base SI units of length (metre) and time (second). Its adoption is linked to the standardization of units during the French Revolution, leading to the establishment of the metric system.
Current use: M/s is used extensively in physics, engineering, and everyday life for measuring speeds of objects, such as vehicles, projectiles, and wind. It is also used in scientific calculations involving motion.
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.
