Military rockets of the 1800s achieved velocities on the order of 100 meters per second. Robert Goddard achieved mach 1 (about 350 m/sec) with his rockets. To escape the gravity of our Earth, a rocket would need to achieve a velocity of about 11,000 m/sec. The X-15 rocket plane achieved a speed of over 110,000 meters per second.

How do you convert speed in meters per second?
so you calculate for one second howmuch meters do you pass and the number that you had is your speed on meters per second
What is the speed in meters per second of a boat traveling at a speed of 12.3 knots?
6.32766667 meters per second ==
If you walk 120 meters in one minute what is your speed per second?
To find your speed per second, divide the distance by the time. If you walk 120 meters in one minute (which is 60 seconds), your speed is 120 meters ÷ 60 seconds = 2 meters per second. Therefore, your speed is 2 meters per second.
What is a car's acceleration if it increases its speed from 5 meters per second to 20 meters per second in 3 seconds?
In general, the acceleration during that time interval could vary considerably. However, we can calculate the average acceleration during the interval. The change in speed is 20 meters per second - 5 meters per second = 15 meters per second, and this change in speed occurs over a 3 second interval. Thus the average change in speed over this interval is 15 meters per second/ 3 seconds = 5 meters per second per second = 5 meters/second2
What is speed in meters per second?
The speed of each meter per second is the same as 3.6 kilometers per hour. As an example, 10 meters per second is 36 kilometers per hour.
