About Meter per Second (m/s)
The SI derived unit of speed, meters per second is the standard in physics and engineering for expressing velocities. Wind speeds in scientific contexts, projectile velocities, and fluid flow rates are measured in m/s. The speed of sound at sea level is approximately 343 m/s.
About Knot (kn)
Equal to one nautical mile per hour (1.852 km/h), the knot is the universal speed unit in maritime and aviation navigation. Its name comes from the historical practice of measuring a ship's speed by counting knots on a rope paid out over a fixed time. Tropical storm and hurricane wind speeds are reported in knots internationally.
