About these units

Walking Speed (walk)

The average human walking speed is about 1.2–1.4 m/s (4–5 km/h), though this varies with fitness, terrain, age, and purpose. Walking is an energy-efficient mode of locomotion optimized through millions of years of evolution. Humans unconsciously adjust stride frequency, step length, and posture to maintain stability and minimize metabolic cost. Urban planning, pedestrian-safety engineering, and architecture all use walking-speed estimates to design sidewalks, crosswalk timing, and public transportation access. Walking speed is not merely a physical measure—it reflects physiology, psychology, and cultural context.

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.
