Definition of Mile Per Hour Per Second
Mile per Hour per Second: US Automotive Acceleration
The mile per hour per second (mph/s) is a unit of acceleration commonly used in the United States automotive industry. It measures how quickly a vehicle's speed in miles per hour changes each second. This unit is especially relevant for the iconic 0 to 60 mph acceleration benchmark.
Conversions to Other Units of Measurement:
- Meter per Second Squared (m/s²): 1 mph/s equals exactly 0.44704 m/s². This conversion allows comparison with international SI measurements.
- Standard Gravity (g): 1 mph/s is approximately 0.04559 g. A car that goes 0-60 mph in 3 seconds experiences about 0.91 g average acceleration.
- Kilometer per Hour per Second (km/h/s): 1 mph/s equals approximately 1.60934 km/h/s. This conversion bridges US and European automotive specifications.
- Foot per Second Squared (ft/s²): 1 mph/s equals approximately 1.4667 ft/s². Useful for US engineering calculations.
- Galileo (Gal): 1 mph/s equals 44.704 Gal.
This unit dominates US automotive journalism and performance specifications, making it easy for American drivers to understand acceleration performance.
- Definition
- Practical acceleration unit; change in velocity of 1 mph in 1 second.
- Exact factor
- 1 mph/s = 0.44704 m/s² (exact)
- Common equivalents
- 1 mph/s = 1609.344/3600 m/s²
- 1 mph/s ≈ 0.04559 g
- 1 mph/s ≈ 1.6093 km/h/s
- Context
- A car going 0-60 mph in 4 seconds has average acceleration of 15 mph/s (≈ 0.68 g)

Kilometer per Hour per Second: Automotive Acceleration
The kilometer per hour per second (km/h/s) is a practical unit of acceleration widely used in the automotive industry. It measures how quickly a vehicle's speed in km/h changes each second. This unit is intuitive for understanding vehicle performance, especially 0 to 100 km/h acceleration times.
Conversions to Other Units of Measurement:
- Meter per Second Squared (m/s²): 1 km/h/s equals approximately 0.27778 m/s² (exactly 1/3.6). This conversion is essential for physics calculations involving vehicle dynamics.
- Standard Gravity (g): 1 km/h/s is approximately 0.02832 g. A sports car that accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3 seconds experiences about 0.94 g average acceleration.
- Mile per Hour per Second (mph/s): 1 km/h/s is approximately 0.62137 mph/s. This allows conversion between European and US automotive specifications.
- Foot per Second Squared (ft/s²): 1 km/h/s equals approximately 0.9113 ft/s². Used in US engineering calculations.
- Galileo (Gal): 1 km/h/s equals approximately 27.78 Gal.
This unit is particularly popular in European automotive journalism and specifications, making acceleration performance easy to understand for drivers and enthusiasts.
- Definition
- Practical acceleration unit; change in velocity of 1 km/h in 1 second.
- Exact factor
- 1 km/h/s = 1/3.6 m/s² = 0.277̄ m/s²
- Common equivalents
- 1 km/h/s = 1000/3600 m/s²
- 1 km/h/s ≈ 0.02832 g
- 1 km/h/s ≈ 0.6214 mph/s
- Context
- A car going 0-100 km/h in 5 seconds has average acceleration of 20 km/h/s (≈ 0.57 g)
About the Mile Per Hour Per Second
The 0-60 mph time is an American automotive tradition dating back to the 1950s hot rod culture. Today's fastest production cars achieve 0-60 mph in under 2 seconds, meaning accelerations exceeding 30 mph/s (about 1.4 g).
Drag racing cars experience extreme accelerations—Top Fuel dragsters can exceed 150 mph/s (over 6.8 g) off the line, subjecting drivers to forces greater than astronauts experience during launch.
About the Kilometer Per Hour Per Second
Car enthusiasts worldwide use this unit to compare vehicle performance. A Tesla Model S Plaid can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in about 2 seconds, meaning it achieves approximately 50 km/h/s—nearly 1.4 g!
For perspective: walking pace (5 km/h) accelerated from rest in 1 second equals 5 km/h/s, which feels gentle. But 100 km/h/s would pin you to your seat with nearly 3 g of force.
