About Miles per Hour

A mile per hour (mph) = exactly 0.44704 m/s - the primary road speed unit in the US, UK, and a few other countries. US interstate limits 65-85 mph; UK motorway 70 mph. Walking ~3-4 mph; club cycling 20-25 mph. MLB elite fastball 100 mph (44.7 m/s). Saffir-Simpson Category 5 hurricane ≥157 mph. Boeing 737 MAX cruises at ~521 mph (Mach 0.79). 1 mph = 0.44704 m/s = 1.60934 km/h = 0.86898 kn.

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.
