meterseconds
Meters per second, abbreviated as m/s, is the standard unit of speed or velocity in the International System of Units (SI). It quantifies the distance an object travels in meters during a time interval of one second. This unit is derived from the base units of meter (m) for length and second (s) for time.
Understanding meters per second is fundamental in physics and engineering. For instance, a car traveling at
The concept of velocity, which includes direction, also uses meters per second. For example, a velocity of
