With is the ratio between the base units Mile per hour (mph) and Kilometer per hour (km/h).
A meter per second (m/s) is the SI unit for both speed and velocity.
As the official metric standard, it provides scientists, engineers, and others with a consistent and easy-to-understand way to express the rate of motion.
Although meters per second (m/s) is the standard scientific unit for speed, it's often helpful to convert it into more familiar terms.
Common conversions include kilometers per hour (km/h) and miles per hour (mph).
The conversion process is straightforward:
For instance, a car moving at 20 m/s is traveling at 72 km/h (20 × 3.6) or about 44.7 mph (20 × 2.237).
Visualizing speeds in meters per second can make the concept much easier to grasp.
