  2. Orders of magnitude (speed) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(speed)

    2.23.4 3.3–5.0 × 10 −9 Average walking speed—below a speed of about 2 m/s, it is more efficient to walk than to run, but above that speed, it is more efficient to run.

  3. Kilometres per hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilometres_per_hour

    SI, and hence the use of "km/h" (or "km h1 " or "km·h1 ") 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 s1 " or "m·s −1 "). SI is also the preferred system of measure in academia and in education.

  4. Speed of sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound

    T 25 is 298.15 K (= 25 °C = 77 °F), giving a value of 346.1 m/s (= 1 135.6 ft/s = 1246 km/h = 774.3 mph = 672.8 kn). In fact, assuming an ideal gas , the speed of sound c depends on temperature and composition only, not on the pressure or density (since these change in lockstep for a given temperature and cancel out).

  5. Equivalent airspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_airspeed

    where a 0 is 1,225 km/h (661.45 kn) (the standard speed of sound at 15 °C), M is the Mach number, P is static pressure, and P 0 is standard sea level pressure (1013.25 hPa). Combining the above with the expression for Mach number gives EAS as a function of impact pressure and static pressure (valid for subsonic flow):

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_Here_We_GO!

    The arrangement of digits on calculator and other numeric keypads with the 7-8-9 keys two rows above the 1-2-3 keys is derived from calculators and cash registers. It is notably different from the layout of telephone Touch-Tone keypads which have the 1-2-3 keys on top and 7-8-9 keys on the third row.

  7. vVO2max - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VVO2max

    The formula from Léger and Mercier [4] links the V̇O 2 max to the vV̇O 2 max, supposing an ideal running technique. vV̇O 2 max = V̇O 2 max / 3.5. where vV̇O 2 max is in km/h and V̇O 2 max is in mL/(kg•min). Note: This formula is identical to that used to calculate the metabolic equivalent of task (MET) score for a given V̇O 2 max ...

  8. Preferred walking speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferred_walking_speed

    Many people tend to walk at about 1.42 metres per second (5.1 km/h; 3.2 mph; 4.7 ft/s). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Individuals may find slower or faster speeds uncomfortable. Horses have also demonstrated normal, narrow distributions of preferred walking speed within a given gait , which suggests that the process of speed selection may follow similar ...

  9. 0 to 60 mph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_to_60_mph

    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.
