  2. 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).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_Canada

    By the mid-1970s, metric product labelling was introduced. In 1972, the provinces agreed to make all road signs metric by 1977. During the Labour Day weekend in 1977, every speed limit sign in the country was changed from mph to km/h. From the same time every new car sold had to have a speedometer that showed speed in km/h and distance in km ...

    The four passenger GEM NEV uses 169 Wh/mi (199 mpg‑e; 10.5 kW⋅h/100 km), [28] which equates to 2.6 kWh/100 km per person when fully occupied, albeit at only 24 mph (39 km/h). The General Motors EV1 was rated in a test with a charging efficiency of 373 Wh-AC/mile or 23 kWh/100 km [ 67 ] approximately equivalent to 2.6 L/100 km (110 mpg ...

    The Republic XP-47J reached 504 mph (811 km/h) in testing. The first ever record although not verified, was the 1903 Wright Flyer. It achieved 30 mph (48 km/h) during its first flight, a record by the only plane of controlled take-off and landing in existence. The Bleriot XI then reached 47 mph (76 km/h) in 1909. Fabric-covered biplanes of the ...
