Meter/second
The meter per second (m/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance in meters traveled per second.
History/Origin
The meter per second has been used as a standard unit of speed in the International System of Units (SI) since the adoption of the SI system in 1960, based on the meter defined by the speed of light.
Current Use
It is commonly used in physics, engineering, and everyday contexts to measure velocity, such as in transportation, aerodynamics, and scientific research.
Mile/hour
Mile per hour (mi/h) is a unit of speed representing the number of miles traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The mile per hour has been used primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom for measuring speed, especially in transportation, since the adoption of the imperial system. Its usage dates back to the widespread use of miles as a distance measure before metric standardization.
Current Use
Today, mi/h is commonly used in the United States and some other countries to express vehicle speeds, speed limits, and other transportation-related velocities. It remains a standard unit in contexts where the imperial system is prevalent.
