About Miles per hour

Miles per hour is the standard unit of speed in the United States and the United Kingdom. It measures how many miles are covered in one hour and is used on road signs, weather reports, and sports statistics.

Real-World Examples

  • US highway speed limits are typically 55 to 75 mph
  • A Category 5 hurricane has winds exceeding 157 mph
  • A professional baseball pitch can exceed 100 mph

💡 Did you know? The speed limit on the German Autobahn's unrestricted sections has no official maximum, though 130 km/h (81 mph) is 'recommended.'

About Feet per second

Feet per second is an imperial unit of speed used primarily in ballistics, engineering calculations, and some aviation contexts in the United States.

Real-World Examples

  • The muzzle velocity of a typical rifle bullet is about 2,500 feet per second
  • A baseball thrown at 90 mph travels at 132 feet per second
  • Sound travels at approximately 1,125 feet per second in air

💡 Did you know? In ballistics, the speed of a bullet is almost always measured in feet per second (fps), even in countries that use the metric system.
