Different kinds of Speeds in various segments
Speed: It is defined as the velocity that is created by providing input energy of different kinds that accelerates the body from point A to point B w.r.t time. Unit of measurement: meter per second (or) kilometer per hour There are different ways of measuring speeds depending on the type of transportation and its descriptions. Here are the different kinds of speed and their typical values which are used in different segments for measuring the speed: Type of Speed Description Typical Value/Range Unit Speed of Light (c) The maximum speed at which all energy, matter, and information in the universe can travel. 299,792,458 meters per second (m/s) Speed of Sound (Mach 1) The speed at which sound travels in dry air at 20°C (68°F). 343 meters per second (m/s) Escape Velocity (Earth) The minimum speed needed for an object to escape Earth’s gravitational pull. 11.2 kilometers per second (km/s) Average Car Speed Typical speed of a car on highways. 100-130 kilometers per hour (km/h) Average ...
