Mile per hour

Definition: Mile per hour (m/h or mph) is a unit of speed, expressing the number of miles travelled in one hour. It is commonly used for measuring the speed of vehicles, especially in countries that use the imperial system, such as the United States and the United Kingdom.

History/origin: Mile per hour is derived from the imperial system of measurement, based on the mile as a unit of distance and the hour as a unit of time. It is historically tied to the British Empire and its influence.

Current use: Mph is widely used in road signage, vehicle speedometers, and everyday conversation about speed in countries like the US and UK. It is also used in weather reports and sports, such as baseball, to describe the speed of a thrown ball.

Foot per second

Definition: Foot per second (ft/s) is a unit of speed, expressing the number of feet travelled in one second. It is used in the imperial system of measurement and is common in engineering and physics calculations.

History/origin: Foot per second is based on the foot as a unit of length and the second as a unit of time. It is a part of the imperial system of measurement that predates the metric system.

Current use: Ft/s is used in fields such as fluid dynamics, ballistics, and sports analytics (e.g., golf ball speed). It's also used in some construction and engineering applications in countries that use the imperial system.
