What is Meter per second?

The meter per second is the SI base unit of speed, representing a distance of one meter traveled in one second. It is the standard unit used in physics textbooks and scientific papers worldwide. In everyday life, wind speed is commonly reported in meters per second, and severe weather warnings use this unit to define storm intensity. The speed of sound in air is approximately 340 m/s, and the speed of light is about 300 million m/s.
