speed =distance/time and units of speed can differ depending on the circumstance. in science we usually measure speed as meters per second (m/s) can also be written ms^-1.

Is what units is speed expressed?

The official unit for speed is meters/second. Any other combination of units, where you divide distance/time, may also be used. One such unit that is commonly used is kilometers/hour. Some units used for speed don't explicitly reference distance and time; for example, a certain fraction of the speed of light in a vacuum, or the unit called "knots" which is used for ships.

What units are used for speed in the laboratory?

Speed in the laboratory is typically measured in units of meters per second (m/s) or centimeters per second (cm/s). Sometimes, it can also be expressed in micrometers per second (μm/s) for very small particles or organisms.


What are the units of probability density?

The units of probability density are typically expressed as the reciprocal of the units of the variable being measured. For example, if the variable is measured in meters, the units of probability density would be expressed as 1/meters.

How is rpm related to speed?

More rpm means more speed, but the speed is also related to the diameter of the rotating object. The exact formula is: speed = angular speed x radius (assuming compatible units are used: for example, speed in meters/second, angular speed in expressed in radians/second, radius in meters).
