M/s:
Meter per second. It is the base unit of measurement for speed in the International System of Units. The meter per second measures the number of meters traveled in one second.
Conversion Factor: 1 (Base Unit)
Common Uses: Physics, engineering, and general scientific measurements.
km/h:
A unit measuring speed. Speed is defined as the number of kilometers travelled in an hour, and the unit is usually referred to when measuring speed limits and vehicle speed.
Unit Conversion Factor: 0.277778
Applications: Speedometer of automobiles, road speed limit, cycling
miles per hour (mph)
Velocimeter measuring the distance traveled in miles in one hour. Commonly utilized in United States of America and United Kingdom.
Conversion Factor: 0.447040
Applications: Speed limits, automotive speeds, aviation
Feet per second (ft/s)
Description: Unit of speed based on the length traveled in feet in one second. It is a unit commonly used in the US.
Conversion Factor: 0.304800
Common Uses: Speed measurements, sports, engineering, and physics.
Knots (kn):
Description: A unit of speed or the velocity of travel by one nautical mile per hour. It is applied in maritime and aircraft fields.
Conversion Factor: 0.514444
Common Uses: Maritime navigation, aviation speed, and weather forecasting.
Mach (at sea level) (M):
Description: A unit of velocity, where the fraction is between an object's velocity and the speed of sound Mach 1 is the speed of sound at sea level, which is 340.29 m/s
Conversion Factor: 340.290000
Common Applications: Aviation, which means especially supersonic aircraft and space exploration.
