What are Yard/second and Meter/hour

Definition of Yard/second

A yard per second (yd/s) serves as a unit of speed frequently used in various contexts. It quantifies the number of yards traveled in one second. This unit originates from the yard, a traditional unit of length, commonly used in the United States and United Kingdom. The yard, equivalent to 0.9144 meters, offers a convenient measure for medium distances. When speed is expressed in yards per second, it conveys how quickly an object covers this specific distance in a short time frame. This unit, while not as prevalent globally, finds applications in sports, engineering, and transportation studies.

Definition of Meter/hour

A meter per hour (m/h) is a unit of speed that denotes the distance in meters covered in one hour. While not commonly used in everyday scenarios, this unit finds particular relevance in fields requiring precise, low-speed measurements. Originating from the meter, the standard unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), a meter per hour provides a clear understanding of slow-moving objects or processes. This unit is valuable in environmental studies, where plant growth rates or sediment transport are measured, ensuring that even minimal speeds are accurately documented and analyzed.

Yard/second to Meter/hour Conversion Table

Yard/second (yd/s) Meter/hour (m/h)
0.1 yd/s 329.184 m/h
0.2 yd/s 658.368 m/h
0.3 yd/s 987.552 m/h
0.4 yd/s 1316.736 m/h
0.5 yd/s 1645.92 m/h
0.6 yd/s 1975.104 m/h
0.7 yd/s 2304.288 m/h
0.8 yd/s 2633.472 m/h
0.9 yd/s 2962.656 m/h
1 yd/s 3291.84 m/h

Conversion of Yard/second to Meter/hour

1 yd/s = 3600 / 0.9144 m/h
1 m/h = 0.9144 / 3600 yd/s

Example 1:
convert 5 yd/s to m/h:
5 yd/s = 5 × 3291.84 m/h = 16459.2 m/h

Example 2:
convert 3.5 yd/s to m/h:
3.5 yd/s = 3.5 × 3291.84 m/h = 11521.44 m/h

History of Yard/second and Meter/hour
