What is a meter per second?
The meter per second is the SI unit of speed. Physicists, engineers and many weather services use it, especially for wind. A world-class sprinter averages a little over 10 m/s over 100 m, and 1 m/s equals 3.6 km/h or about 2.24 mph.
What is a foot per second?
The foot per second is exactly 0.3048 m/s, or about 0.68 mph. It appears in US engineering, fluid flow, ballistics (muzzle velocity) and physics homework that uses customary units.
