About these units
Mile/Minute (mi/min)
A mile per minute corresponds to 60 miles per hour, making it a bridge between mph and high-speed conceptual measures. Aircraft climb rates, emergency vehicle response metrics, and theoretical speed comparisons sometimes use mi/min for rapid mental calculations. The unit is also used historically in railway performance, where achieving "a mile a minute" once symbolized extraordinary locomotive speed. Today it stands as both a technical unit and a romantic benchmark of transportation history.
Yard/Second (yd/s)
A yard per second is a moderately fast speed, equal to 3 ft/s or 0.9144 m/s, used in some athletic contexts—particularly American football or sprinting analysis. It provides an intuitive measure for sports where yard-based distances dominate. Because the unit aligns with common field dimensions, it simplifies performance evaluation in training and gameplay. The yard per second reflects the enduring influence of imperial measurements in American athletics.
