SwitchExplanation
Formula: Miles per Hour = Meter per Second × 2.236936. Why: marine speed units are normalized through knots, so the route follows one deterministic vessel-speed basis before applying the target unit.
Meters per Second (m/s): an SI speed unit used in engineering, fluid, and motion calculations.
Miles per Hour (mph): a common land-speed unit used when vessel or current speeds are restated in statute terms.
This route is useful when restating vessel speed between knots and engineering or land-speed units for navigation, instrumentation, and performance reporting.
This conversion is purely multiplicative because both units reduce through one fixed marine reference basis for the active family, with no offset.
