What is a mile per hour?
The mile per hour is the unit of speed limits in the United States and the United Kingdom. Since a mile is exactly 1.609344 km, 1 mph is exactly 1.609344 km/h. Baseball pitches, wind speeds in US forecasts and treadmill displays also use mph.
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.
