About Miles per Minute
A mile per minute (mi/min) = exactly 26.8224 m/s = 60 mph. The X-15 rocket plane flew at ~4.5 mi/min (Mach 6.7); the SR-71 Blackbird at ~2.1 mi/min (Mach 3.2). Speed of sound at sea level ≈ 0.77 mi/min. 'Mile-a-minute' (60 mph = 1 mi/min) was a historic railway milestone first achieved on the Great Western Railway in the 1840s. 1 mi/min = 96.5604 km/h.
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.
