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 Millimetres per Second
A millimetre per second (mm/s) is 10⁻³ m/s - the speed of slow industrial mechanisms and recognisable biological motion. FDM 3D printers move at 40-120 mm/s for perimeters and 150-300 mm/s for infill. Garden snails travel 0.5-1.5 mm/s; earthworms 3-5 mm/s. CNC finishing operations run 1-several hundred mm/s. Hydraulic precision slides work at mm/s for surface preparation. Ultrasound particle velocities in soft tissue are also in this range. 1 mm/s = 10⁻³ m/s.
