The standard unit used in science is meters/second, but kilometers/hour is also quite common. Actually you can divide any unit of length by any unit of time, and get a valid unit for speed or velocity.

What is the significance of the unit "m/s" in physics and how is it used to measure velocity?

The unit "m/s" in physics represents meters per second, which is used to measure velocity. Velocity is the rate at which an object changes its position in a specific direction over time. By using the unit "m/s," we can quantify how fast an object is moving in meters per second, providing a precise measurement of its speed and direction.
