SI, and hence the use of "km/h" (or "km h −1 " or "km·h −1 ") has now been adopted around the world in many areas related to health and safety [36] and in metrology [37] in addition to the SI unit metres per second ("m/s", "m s −1 " or "m·s −1 "). SI is also the preferred system of measure in academia and in education.

Notes specify if test was 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) or 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph). For comparison, an object in free fall, without any air resistance, near the Earth's surface accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 2.83 seconds and from 0–60 mph in 2.73 seconds.
The time it takes a vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h or 27 m/s), often said as just "zero to sixty" or "nought to sixty", is a commonly used performance measure for automotive acceleration in the United States and the United Kingdom. In the rest of the world, 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62.1 mph) is used.
