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.

About Kilometres per Hour

A kilometre per hour (km/h) = 1/3.6 m/s - the universal road speed unit across most of the world. Walking pace ~5-6 km/h; jogging 9-12 km/h; elite marathon runners average 20-21 km/h. High-speed rail (TGV, Shinkansen, ICE) 250-350 km/h; TGV record 574.8 km/h. Category 5 hurricane ≥252 km/h; Thrust SSC land speed record 1,228 km/h (Mach 1.02). 1 km/h = 0.2778 m/s = 0.6214 mph = 0.5400 kn.
