Formula: The conversion formulas for speed units depend on the relationship between the units. Here are some common conversion formulas:

1. Meter/second to other units:

   • $1 \, \text{m/s} = 1 \, \text{m/s}$
   • Other conversions follow similar principles.

2. Kilometer/hour to other units:

   • $1 \, \text{km/h} = \frac{5}{18} \, \text{m/s}$
   • Other conversions follow similar principles.

3. Mile/hour to other units:

   • $1 \, \text{mi/h} = \frac{1609.34}{3600} \, \text{m/s}$
   • Other conversions follow similar principles.

How to Convert: Converting speed units using the Speed Unit Converter involves the following steps:

1. Select the input speed unit from the dropdown menu.
2. Enter the value of the speed you want to convert.
3. Choose the output speed unit from the second dropdown menu.
4. The converter will instantly display the converted speed value.

Examples: Let's explore some practical examples of speed unit conversions:

1. Convert 60 kilometers per hour to meters per second:

   • Input: Speed = 60 km/h
   • Output: $60 \, \text{km/h} \times \frac{5}{18} = 16.67 \, \text{m/s}$

2. Convert 30 miles per hour to meters per second:

   • Input: Speed = 30 mi/h
   • Output: $30 \, \text{mi/h} \times \frac{1609.34}{3600} = 13.41 \, \text{m/s}$

3. Convert 50 feet per second to kilometers per hour:

   • Input: Speed = 50 ft/s
   • Output: $50 \, \text{ft/s} \times \frac{0.3048 \times 3600}{1000} = 54.86 \, \text{km/h}$
