  6. Foot per second squared - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_per_second_squared

    The foot per second squared (plural feet per second squared) is a unit of acceleration. [1] It expresses change in velocity expressed in units of feet per second (ft/s) divided by time in seconds (s) (or the distance in feet (ft) traveled or displaced, divided by the time in seconds (s) squared).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naismith's_rule

    The original Naismith's rule from 1892 says that one should allow one hour per three miles on the map and an additional hour per 2000 feet of ascent. [1] [4] It is included in the last sentence of his report from a trip. [1] [8] Today it is formulated in many ways. Naismith's 1 h / 3 mi + 1 h / 2000 ft can be replaced by:

    The knot (/ n ɒ t /) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, exactly 1.852 km/h (approximately 1.151 mph or 0.514 m/s). [1] [2] The ISO standard symbol for the knot is kn. [3]

  9. Foot per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_per_second

    The foot per second (plural feet per second) is a unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity, which includes direction). [1] It expresses the distance in feet (ft) traveled or displaced, divided by the time in seconds (s). [2] The corresponding unit in the International System of Units (SI) is the meter per second.
