About these units
Mile/Second (mi/s)
A mile per second is an extraordinarily fast speed—3,600 mph—far beyond any ground vehicle. This unit appears primarily in discussions of orbital mechanics, rocket propulsion, and reentry dynamics. Projectiles in theoretical physics or high-energy impact modeling may also be described in miles per second. The unit's infrequent use reflects its specialized nature, but its dramatic magnitude makes it compelling for illustrating the extremes of velocity attainable in space travel and astrophysics.
Kilometer/Minute (km/min)
A kilometer per minute corresponds to 60 km/h per unit, making it a useful measure for high-speed trains, rockets, and conceptual velocity comparisons. It is too fast for normal transportation but too slow for astrophysical use, placing it in a niche area: intermediate high-speed phenomena. Engineers may use km/min to quickly estimate travel times or evaluate rapid mechanical processes. It offers a convenient stepping stone between km/h and km/s.
