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.

Knot (kn)

Definition

The knot (symbol: kn or kt) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, exactly 1.852 km/h (approximately 0.51444 m/s). It is established based on the length of one minute of latitude on a meridian.

Current Use

The knot is used worldwide in meteorology, and in maritime and air navigation. For example, a vessel traveling at 1 knot along a meridian travels approximately one minute of geographic latitude in one hour.
