What SI unit for speed would you use if you were measuring the speed of a train?

The SI unit for speed that would be used when measuring the speed of a train is meters per second (m/s). To convert this to other units the following conversions would be used:
- 1 m/s is equal to 3.6 kilometers per hour (km/h)
- 1 m/s is equal to 2.237 miles per hour (mph)
- 1 m/s is equal to 1.097 yards per second (yd/s)
Using meters per second when measuring the speed of a train is the most accurate and reliable way to ensure a precise measurement.

∙ 13y agoTo get the average speed in a given distance you would take distance divide by time which would equal average speed.
An example of this would be:
The 1970 NASCAR race at the Poconos speed way. A 1970 Plymouth Superbird was raced 200 lap's. Between each stop for fuel they recorded the average speed for that section of the race. At one point in the race Richard Petty, the driver of the Superbird, ran 10 miles in 00:02.51 (two minutes fifty one seconds) or an average speed of 210.53 miles per hour!

Diverentiate the equation to find v(t). Then integrate from starting time to ending time (effectively Sum of all speeds) and divide by the duration of the time to get the average. Effectively this is the same thing.

What unit is used for measuring volume of a room?
litres would do.
Is speed always measured in terms of a unit of distance divided by a unit of time?
The unit is called 'speed'.
What is the unit of measure for mass?
Strawberries would be measured in grams or ounces.
What is the SI unit for measuring temperature?
The SI unit for measuring temperature is Kelvinkelvin kelvin
Which unit of measurement would be most appropriate for measuring the length of a paper clip?
Millimetres
Units for measuring speed?
[Speed] = [any unit of length] divided by [any unit of time].
Which unit of measurement would be most appropriate for measuring the mass of a train?
Ton Ton Ton Ton
Which metric measurements would you use to calculate a train's speed?
A train travels fairly large distances so kilometres would be an appropriate unit for length. Hours would be the best unit for time, so speed would be in kilometres per hour. We don't really metricate time in most applications.
Is milliliters the usual unit of measure?
It's a great unit if you're measuring small volumes or capacities. It wouldn't be good at all for measuring speed or time.
What unit would you use to measure a train?
The Unit Used To Measure A Train Can Be Kilometer.
What is the measuring unit of supercomputer speed?
" FLOPS " = Floating Point operations Per Second
What is an appropriate metric unit for measuring for a airplane?
That depends what aspect of the aeroplane you're measuring. An aeroplane's length would be measured in metres, as would its height. The mass of the aeroplane would be in kilograms. Its speed would be in metres per second or more traditionally kilometres per hour.
What does a knot measure?
A knot is a unit for measuring speed at sea, and equals 1.852 meters/hour.
What does knot measure?
A knot is a unit for measuring speed at sea, and equals 1.852 meters/hour.
What is the unit for measuring the speed of an object?
Distance travelled against time. For instance, miles per hour (MPH) to measure the speed of a car.
What is the analogy for height inches weight?
It is pounds. An inch is the measuring unit for height. A pound is the measuring unit for weight. The logic is as follows. height, weight -> (measuring unit for height), (measuring unit for weight) Some similar examples, If it were "height, distance and inches." the missing word would be "miles" If it were "height, age and inches." the missing word would be "years"
What is the distance between mars and earth in mph?
There can be no sensible answer. "mph" is a unit for measuring speed or velocity, not distance.
