About Millimetres per second squared

The millimetre per second squared (mm/s²) equals 10⁻³ m/s², the standard unit for vibration acceleration in machine condition monitoring. ISO 10816 and ISO 20816 define machinery vibration limits in mm/s and mm/s²; ISO 10816-3 Zone A boundary for industrial machinery is ≈32 mm/s² at 2.2 Hz. Seismically, MMI VI ground shaking (masonry damage threshold) corresponds to 620-1250 mm/s² peak ground acceleration. 1 mm/s² = 10⁻³ m/s² ≈ 1.02 × 10⁻⁴ g₀.

About Miles per hour per second

The mile per hour per second (mph/s) equals exactly 0.44704 m/s², the natural acceleration unit for road vehicles in the US and UK where speed is measured in mph. A 0-60 mph time of 2.0 s (Tesla Model S Plaid) gives 30 mph/s ≈ 13.4 m/s²; a typical family car at 8.5 s gives 7.1 mph/s ≈ 3.2 m/s². Emergency braking for Amtrak trains requires at least 26 mph/s ≈ 11.6 m/s². 1 mph/s = 0.44704 m/s² (exact) ≈ 4.56 × 10⁻² g₀.
