I hear m/s^3 is a jerk.

Yo dawg I heard you like acceleration so I calculated the acceleration of your acceleration

If you derive deeper you get snap, crackle, and pop.

mph:

HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml · 8 pts · 1y

Mph would actually be slightly above km/h according to my thought process while making this. I wanted to express that 1 m/s is way faster than 1 km/h, but seems like everyone took it as me saying m/s is just "better" lol. I think I picked a bad title.

It's the same unit bruh. Kilo just means "[a] thousand".

TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz · 9 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Unfortunately an hour is not a thousand seconds, it's 3.6 thousand.

nebulaone@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

km/s and m/s is the same, as well as km/h and m/h

What the ISO says?

LMurch@thelemmy.club · 6 pts · 1y

I always considered km/h the cool one. We'd visit Canada (from the US) and city speed limits would be like 70. Hells yeah

Coherent units best units.

Km*s^-1 * Mpc or km/s/Mpc idk I'm not astrophysicist

Ah, reminds me of high school physics and always trying to remember whether I needed to multiply or divide by 3.6.

sneezycat@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 1y

That's why I love conversion factors, never had to doubt again. 1 m/s * km/1000m * 3600s/h = 3.6km/h

This is the way.

No, deceleration threshold

It’s not the fall that kills you. It’s the sudden stop at the bottom.

m/h is where it is
