Mile per Square Second

mi/s²

Definition

The mile per square second (mi/s²) is a unit of acceleration, representing the rate of change of velocity per unit time in miles. It is equal to 1609.344 meters per square second.

History/Origin

Derived from the mile, an imperial unit of length, and the second. It is used for measuring very large accelerations in imperial system applications, particularly in aerospace and high-speed vehicle analysis.

Current Use

Used in aerospace engineering, high-speed vehicle analysis, and other applications where very large accelerations are measured using imperial units.
