Knot
The knot (kn) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. It is commonly used in maritime and aviation contexts to express the speed of ships and aircraft. The knot is an important unit in navigation, where distances are often measured in nautical miles.
Meter/second
The meter per second (m/s) is a unit of speed or velocity in the metric system, representing the distance traveled in meters over one second. It is commonly used in physics and engineering to describe how quickly an object is moving or how fast a process is occurring. This unit is fundamental in scientific contexts, where precise measurements of speed are required.
