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 Micrometres per Second
A micrometre per second (µm/s) is 10⁻⁶ m/s - the speed of cell motility, bacteria, and precision machining feeds. E. coli swims at 20-30 µm/s; the fastest bacteria (Thiovulum majus) reach 600 µm/s. Neutrophils chasing a chemoattractant move at 10-20 µm/s. Microfluidic lab-on-chip analytical channels flow at 1-1,000 µm/s. Diamond-turning lathe in-feeds for optical surfaces are 1-100 µm/s. Fast glacier centrelines move ~1-10 µm/s (~100 m/year). 1 µm/s = 10⁻⁶ m/s.
