Miles Per Day

Definition of Miles Per Day

Miles per day (mi/d) is a unit of speed that measures how fast something is moving in terms of miles per unit of time. It is commonly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and some other countries that use the US Standard system of measurement or have close historical ties with them. It is often used for measuring the average speed or distance traveled by an object or phenomenon over a period of time that is measured in days or longer.

One mile per day is equal to 0.0416666667 miles per hour, or 0.0185185185 meters per second. It can also be converted to other units of speed, such as kilometers per hour, feet per second, or knots, by using appropriate conversion factors.

How to Convert Miles Per Day

To convert miles per day to other units of speed, we need to multiply or divide by the corresponding conversion factors. For example, to convert miles per day to kilometers per hour, we need to multiply by 1.609344, since there are 1.609344 kilometers in one mile. To convert miles per day to meters per second, we need to multiply by 0.018518518518519, since there are 0.018518518518519 meters in one mile.

Here are some examples of how to convert miles per day to other units of length in the US Standard system and the SI system:

  • To convert 10 mi/d to kilometers per hour (km/h), we multiply by 1.609344: 10 mi/d x 1.609344 = 16.09344 km/h
  • To convert 20 mi/d to feet per second (fps), we multiply by 0.05787037037037, since there are 0.05787037037037 feet in one meter: 20 mi/d x 0.05787037037037 = 1.157407407407 fps
  • To convert 30 mi/d to knots (kn), we multiply by 0.03626111111, since there are 0.0362611111 nautical miles in one mile: 30 mi/d x 0.0362611111 = 1.08783333 kn
  • To convert 40 mi/d to meters per second (m/s), we multiply by 0.018518518518519: 40 mi/d x 0.018518518518519 = 0.740740740741 m/s
  • To convert 50 mi/d to meters per minute (m/min), we multiply by 1.11111, since there are 1.11111 minutes in one hour: 50 mi/d x 1.11111 = 55.555555556 m/min
  • To convert 60 mi/d to centimeters per second (cm/s), we multiply by 100, since there are 100 centimeters in one meter, and multiply by 0.018518518518519: 60 mi/d x 100 x 0.018518518518519 = 111.11111 cm/s

Where Miles Per Day Are Used

Miles per day are mainly used for measuring the average speed or distance traveled by an object or phenomenon over a period of time that is measured in days or longer. They are often used in fields such as travel, fitness, sports, and geography, where the speed or distance traveled by an object or phenomenon is measured in terms of miles per unit of time.

For example, a person may travel an average of 100 mi/d on a road trip across a country, which means that they cover an average distance of 100 miles in one day. A runner may run an average of 5 mi/d as part of their training routine, which means that they run a distance of 5 miles in one day. A planet may have an orbital velocity of thousands of miles per day, which means that it covers thousands of miles along its orbit in one day.

Miles per day are also used in some other fields where the speed or distance traveled by an object or phenomenon is measured in terms of miles per unit of time.

History of Miles Per Day

The origin of miles per day as a unit of speed can be traced back to the development of the US Standard system and the mile as a unit of length in the late eighteenth century. The mile was defined as one thousand six hundred and nine meters (or eight furlongs) based on the English statute mile.

The term mile first appeared in English in the late fourteenth century, but it was not until later in the early nineteenth century that the use of miles per day became more common; before that, other units such as miles per hour or leagues per day were preferred for expressing speed.

Miles per day have been used ever since as a standard unit of speed for measuring the average speed or distance traveled by an object or phenomenon over a period of time that is measured in days or longer. They have also been adopted by some international organizations and conventions, such as the International System of Units and the International Astronomical Union.

Example Conversions of Miles Per Day to Other Units

Here are some examples of how to convert miles per day to other units of speed, using the conversion factors given above:

  • To convert 100 mi/d to kilometers per hour, we multiply by 1.609344: 100 mi/d x 1.609344 = 160.9344 km/h
  • To convert 200 mi/d to feet per second, we multiply by 0.05787037037037: 200 mi/d x 0.05787037037037 = 11.574074074074 fps

  • To convert 400 mi/d to meters per second, we multiply by 0.018518518518519: 400 mi/d x 0.018518518518519 = 7.407407407407 m/s
  • To convert 500 mi/d to meters per minute, we multiply by 1.11111: 500 mi/d x 1.11111 = 555.55556 m/min
  • To convert 600 mi/d to centimeters per second, we multiply by 100 and multiply by 0.018518518518519: 600 mi/d x 100 x 0.018518518518519 = 1111.1111 cm/s
  • To convert 700 mi/d to millimeters per minute, we multiply by 1000, since there are 1000 millimeters in one meter, and multiply by 1.11111: 700 mi/d x 1000 x 1.11111 = 777777.77778 mm/min
Miles per day also can be marked as mile/day.

Meters per second: A unit of speed

Meters per second (m/s) is a unit of speed or velocity in the International System of Units (SI). It measures how fast an object is moving by calculating the distance traveled in meters divided by the time taken in seconds. For example, if a car travels 100 meters in 5 seconds, its speed is 20 m/s.

How to convert meters per second

Meters per second can be converted to other units of speed or velocity by using simple conversion factors. Here are some common units and their conversion factors:

  • Kilometers per hour (km/h): To convert from m/s to km/h, multiply by 3.6. To convert from km/h to m/s, divide by 3.6. For example, 20 m/s is equal to 72 km/h, and 50 km/h is equal to 13.89 m/s.
  • Miles per hour (mph): To convert from m/s to mph, multiply by 2.2369. To convert from mph to m/s, divide by 2.2369. For example, 20 m/s is equal to 44.74 mph, and 30 mph is equal to 13.41 m/s.
  • Knots (kn): To convert from m/s to kn, multiply by 1.9438. To convert from kn to m/s, divide by 1.9438. For example, 20 m/s is equal to 38.88 kn, and 15 kn is equal to 7.72 m/s.
  • Feet per second (ft/s): To convert from m/s to ft/s, multiply by 3.2808. To convert from ft/s to m/s, divide by 3.2808. For example, 20 m/s is equal to 65.62 ft/s, and 40 ft/s is equal to 12.19 m/s.

Where meters per second are used

Meters per second are widely used in science and engineering to measure the speed or velocity of various phenomena, such as sound waves, light waves, wind speed, fluid flow, projectile motion, etc.

Meters per second are also used in some countries as the official unit of speed or velocity for road traffic signs and regulations. For example, in Canada, the maximum speed limit on highways is usually 100 km/h, which is equivalent to 27.78 m/s.

Meters per second are also used in sports and athletics to measure the performance of athletes, such as sprinters, swimmers, cyclists, etc.

Definition of meters per second

According to the SI definition, one meter per second is the speed of a body that covers a distance of one meter in a time of one second.

Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

where v is the speed or velocity in meters per second, s is the distance traveled in meters, and t is the time taken in seconds.

History of meters per second

The concept of speed or velocity has been studied since ancient times by philosophers and scientists such as Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, etc.

The meter was originally defined in 1793 by the French Academy of Sciences as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a meridian through Paris.

The second was originally defined in terms of the Earth’s rotation as one eighty-six thousand four hundredth of a mean solar day.

The combination of these two units resulted in the meter per second as a unit of speed or velocity.

The meter per second was officially adopted as part of the SI system in 1960.

Example conversions of meters per second to other units

Here are some examples of converting meters per second to other units of speed or velocity:

  • 10 m/s = 36 km/h = 22.37 mph = 19.44 kn = 32.81 ft/s
  • 5 m/s = 18 km/h = 11.18 mph = 9.72 kn = 16.4 ft/s
  • 15 m/s = 54 km/h = 33.55 mph = 29.17 kn = 49.21 ft/s
  • 25 m/s = 90 km/h = 55.92 mph = 48.61 kn = 82.02 ft/s
  • 50 m/s = 180 km/h = 111.85 mph = 97.22 kn = 164.04 ft/s
  • 100 m/s = 360 km/h = 223.69 mph = 194.39 kn = 328.08 ft/s
  • 200 m/s = 720 km/h = 447.39 mph = 388.79 kn = 656.17 ft/s
Meters per second also can be marked as m/s and metres per second(alternative British English spelling in UK).
