About Metres per Minute
A metre per minute (m/min) equals exactly 1/60 m/s ≈ 0.016667 m/s and is widely used in manufacturing, printing, and industrial processes as a natural metric extension. CNC router cutting feeds in metric workshops are specified in m/min: wood at 3-10 m/min, aluminium at 1-4 m/min. High-speed printing press web speeds range from a few m/min on proof presses to 600-1,200 m/min on modern flexographic machines; inkjet web printers run at 50-200 m/min. Treadmill running speeds are resolved to m/min in training-intensity calculations: walking 80-100 m/min, jogging 150-180 m/min, running 240-300 m/min. Elite 100 m freestyle swimmers complete their length in about 47 seconds - approximately 127 m/min. Wind turbine blade hub speeds of large utility turbines reach 60-100 m/min at rotor hub radius, rising to 400+ m/min at the blade tip. Paper machine wire speeds in modern fourdrinier mills run at 60-1,200 m/min depending on grade. 1 m/min = 1/60 m/s ≈ 0.06 km/h = 3.281 ft/min.
About Miles per Second
A mile per second (mi/s) = exactly 1,609.344 m/s - above the fastest air-breathing aircraft. NASA X-43A scramjet: 2.9 km/s ≈ 1.8 mi/s (Mach 9.6). Earth's orbital speed around the Sun: ~18.5 mi/s (29.8 km/s). Light travels ~186,282 mi/s in vacuum - the classic imperial figure still used in popular astronomy. Tunguska impactor entered Earth's atmosphere at ~9-11 mi/s. 1 mi/s = 3,600 mph = 3,128.3 kn.
