Meaning
Metres per Second are the scientific units of speed (or velocity).
About Metres per Second
- Metres per Second is shortened to m/s with a lower case m and a lower case s.
- Metres per Second is how many metres have been travelled in one second.
- A human walks at around 1.4m/s.
- A car on the motorway travels at around 32m/s.
