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 Nautical Miles per Minute
A nautical mile per minute (nmi/min) = 1,852/60 m/s ≈ 30.867 m/s = 60 knots. At 1 nmi/min, elapsed time in minutes equals distance in nautical miles - dead-reckoning made trivial. Mach 1 at sea level ≈ 1.1 nmi/min; Concorde at Mach 2.02 flew ~3 nmi/min. ATC radar separation standards use nmi and minutes as native units, making nmi/min the implicit reference. 1 nmi/min = 1,852 km/h = 60 kn.
