  2. Kilometres per hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilometres_per_hour

    Speed limit sign in the Republic of Ireland, using "km/h.". The SI representations, classified as symbols, are "km/h", "km h1" and "km·h1".Several other abbreviations of "kilometres per hour" have been used since the term was introduced and many are still in use today; for example, dictionaries list "kph", [3] [4] [5] "kmph" and "km/hr" [6] as English abbreviations.

  3. 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.

  4. Rail speed limits in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_speed_limits_in_the...

    Excepted [us 1] <10 mph (16 km/h) not allowed: Class 1: 10 mph (16 km/h) 15 mph (24 km/h) Much yard, branch line, short line, and industrial spur trackage falls into this category. Class 2: 25 mph (40 km/h) 30 mph (48 km/h) Branch lines, secondary main lines, many regional railroads, and some tourist operations frequently fall into this class.

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

  7. 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 ...

  8. 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 ...
