What is a Meter per Second

The meter per second is the SI base-derived unit of speed — distance in meters divided by time in seconds. The meter itself was defined in 1799, during the French Revolution, as one ten-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator; since 1983 it has been redefined via the speed of light. When the SI system was formally established in 1960, meters per second became the standard scientific unit of speed used worldwide in physics, engineering, and meteorology.

Quick Conversion Tips

For quick approximations, remember: 1 m/s ≈ 2.24 mph. Or conversely: 1 mph ≈ 0.45 m/s. For a rough estimate, you can multiply m/s by 2 — this gives an approximate value in mph.
