About the meter per second and the mile per hour

The meter per second

The meter per second (m/s) is the SI derived unit of speed. It is the preferred unit in physics, engineering, and any scientific context. The speed of light in vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 m/s, which is how the meter itself is now defined.

The mile per hour

The mile per hour (mph) is the customary speed unit in the United States and the United Kingdom. The conversion 1 mph = 0.44704 m/s is exact, derived from 1 mile = 1609.344 m. A useful mental shortcut: multiply mph by 1.6 to get a close km/h estimate.
