Unit Information

Meter per second (m/s)

Definition

The meter per second (symbol: m/s) is an SI derived unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity). It is defined as the distance in meters traveled divided by the time in seconds. It is the base unit of speed in many scientific systems.

Current Use

The meter per second is used globally in scientific, engineering, and technical contexts. It is the primary unit for velocity in physics and is used to define other derived units such as the force of a Newton or the energy of a Joule.

Kilometer per hour (km/h)

Definition

The kilometer per hour (symbol: km/h) is a unit of speed, expressing the number of kilometers traveled in one hour. One kilometer per hour is equivalent to approximately 0.27778 meters per second or 0.62137 miles per hour.

Current Use

Kilometers per hour is the most common unit used for road speed limits and vehicle speeds in most of the world where the metric system is adopted. It is also used in rail transport and general travel measurements in most countries.
