About Metres per Second
The metre per second (m/s) is the SI unit of speed. Brisk walking ~1.4 m/s; Usain Bolt's peak sprint ~12.4 m/s; speed of sound in air at 20°C 343.2 m/s; in water 1,481 m/s. Rifle muzzle velocities 370-1,200 m/s. Speed of light = exactly 299,792,458 m/s (the defined constant from which the metre is derived since 1983). 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h = 2.23694 mph = 1.94384 kn.
About Yards per Second
A yard per second (yd/s) = exactly 0.9144 m/s - brisk jog speed, natural for American and British sports. American football wide receivers at full sprint: 10-11 yd/s; defensive backs 9-10 yd/s. Ten-pin bowling ball rolls the 20 yd lane in 2-3 s ≈ 7-9 yd/s. A sprinting cricket fielder covers the 22 yd pitch in ~3 s ≈ 7 yd/s. Racing greyhound: ~20 yd/s. 1 yd/s = 0.9144 m/s = 2.04545 mph.
