Mr Saito	Posted - 2007.09.15 11:33:00 - [1] Sorry for the stupid question but is M/S "meters per second"? And if my Raven goes 143 M/S how does that speed translate into MPH? Sorry if this is a noob question.
ceyriot	Posted - 2007.09.15 11:34:00 - [2] heh...M/S is meters a second, which into miles is WTFIUNNO cause im canadian.
Dr Fighter	Posted - 2007.09.15 11:37:00 - [3] 320 miles per hour i think.
DTson Gauur Glauxian Brothers Ground Zeero	Posted - 2007.09.15 11:37:00 - [4] shy under 320mph (319.88)
Wardog 1 Infinitus Odium The Church.	Posted - 2007.09.15 11:38:00 - [5] 143 m/sec = 319.89100 mi/hr
Sqalevon Masuat'aa Matari	Posted - 2007.09.15 11:41:00 - [6] Edited by: Sqalevon on 15/09/2007 11:44:22 Lets first calculate m/s to km/h there go 3600 s in a h there go 1000 m in a km 143m/s = 514800m/h now devide it by 1000 to get km/h 514800m/h = 514.8km/h and we all know ( I hope ) that there go roughly 1.609 km in a mile. 514.8km/h = 319.95m/h math is easy EDIT : seems like I was not using the precise number for km -> mile, and some people have been rounding off ^^
Terianna Eri Amarr STK Scientific M. PIRE	Posted - 2007.09.15 11:57:00 - [7] 1 m/s = 2.23693629 mph, according to google... and yes, even ships that are quite slow in space are rather fast compared to terrestrial vehicles. Of course, spaceships don't have to deal with friction. __________________________________

Grab Khan New Justice	Posted - 2007.09.15 12:39:00 - [9] The answer to this (and any other conversions / calculations) is handily provided by our friend, The Google: http://www.google.com/search?q=143%20m/s%20in%20mph (it's also handy for weird stuff like "speed of light in furlongs per fortnight" - try it! :)
Juha85 Beasts of Burden YouWhat	Posted - 2007.09.15 13:31:00 - [10] God I hate americans for not using the SI (metric) system. Same goes for the UK people but atleast they are getting into the standard. Doing unit conversions between the systems just makes me mad... (work) ---------------------------------------

(work) Hah, read it and weep metric boy! http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7008486701 Yeah, it's pathetic. Makes me somewhat ashamed to be British. Elderly people that just like the old units is one thing but when I read about people under 40 claiming to not understand the metric system it boggles my mind. I was forty this year and I was taught in metric at school. In any case..if you're not senile or mentally challenged how you can not understand metric? About the only valid complaint against the metric system is that it dumbs things down panders to the lazy. -- (Battle hardened industrialist) [Brackley, UK] My budgie can say "ploppy bottom".

Sphynx Stormlord Gallente Anqara Tech	Posted - 2007.09.15 14:12:00 - [13] How fast? Very slightly longer than it takes to type 143 m/s in mph into google (and have it answer 143 (meters / second) = 319.88189 mph)

Nian Banks Minmatar Berserkers of Aesir	Posted - 2007.09.15 15:13:00 - [15] Edited by: Nian Banks on 15/09/2007 15:13:29 Ok for all you imperialists heres a little bit of metric education, Are you ready children? Here we go... Basic naming abbreviations. Distance 1mm = one millimetre 1cm = one centimetre 1m = one metre 1km = one kilometre Weight 1mg = one milligram 1g = one gram 1kg = one kilogram 1t = one metric ton Volume 1ml = one millilitre 1l = one litre 1kl = one kilolitre 1ml = one megalitre Ok guys here we go. 10mm = 1cm, 100cm = 1m, 1000m = 1km 1000mg = 1g, 1000g = 1kg, 1000kg = 1t 1000ml = 1l, 1000l = 1kl, 1000kl = 1ml Ok heres the trippy part, 10cm x 10cm 1x0cm, thats 10cm cubed, when filled with water at sea level that is 4 degrees centigrade it takes 1 litre of pure water for it to be full. That one litre also equals one kilogram. 10cm cubed = 1 litre = 1 kilogram.
Klavayne Free Mercenaries Union FATAL Alliance	Posted - 2007.09.15 15:22:00 - [16] Originally by: Nian Banks Volume 1ml = one millilitre 1l = one litre 1kl = one kilolitre 1ml = one megalitre Ok guys here we go. 1000ml = 1l, 1000l = 1kl, 1000kl = 1ml By your units, 1000ml = 1ml. But i'm sure you meant ml as a megalitre which should really be Ml. Nobody really uses 1kl or 1Ml because 1kl = 1m3 of water. Then you just scale up from that.
Barbens	Posted - 2007.09.15 15:25:00 - [17] 1m = 3.28 feet :)

But it's a cube with a side of 10 cm (1 dm) That's the only explanation for his mistaken confusion with "10cm cubed". _ [CNVTF] is recruiting \| Char creation guide \| Stack-nerfing explained

Liang Nuren The Refugees	Posted - 2007.09.15 17:49:00 - [21] Well, if native "speakers" of metric can't even give a simple explanation - how is everyone else supposed to understand!! Liang PS: I do know the metric system. Yarr?

On a fun Saturday night after drinks and a little 8ball you usually aren't the greatest mathematician in the world. Now if we were to start to talk about angles of approach and velocity in regards to little coloured balls on a green flat surface. I think bed time would be in order.
Abye Sniggerdly Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2007.09.15 18:14:00 - [23] Edited by: Abye on 15/09/2007 18:13:55 I just imagine the horrors of having physics classes with the imperial measurements. 3 countries have not officially adopted the metric system: USA, Liberia and Myanmar -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system ___
Ruciza	Posted - 2007.09.15 18:26:00 - [24] Originally by: Abye I just imagine the horrors of having physics classes with the imperial measurements. No, the horrors begin when you arrive in the real world, which is metric. Science is in metric generally, and if not you lose your space probe and years of effort. And money.
Paulo Damarr	Posted - 2007.09.15 19:02:00 - [25] That's pretty disappointing to find out what the speeds translate as Some of the super advanced starships in EVE are not much faster than this

Liang PS: I do know the metric system. its not metrix system fault, people who make that mistake will also say 10 inch * 10 inch * 10 inch is 10 cubic inch. wich it isnt, 10X10X10 is 1000 so 1000 cubic inch(and I drove my math teachers crazy with those mistakes :s) just a simple and common math error 8) ----- GIEV custom ship paint jobs!

Bagdon Radical Fighters	Posted - 2007.09.15 20:52:00 - [27] Originally by: Nian Banks Ok heres the trippy part, 10cm x 10cm 1x0cm, thats 1000cm cubed (fixed ), when filled with water at sea level that is 4 degrees centigrade it takes 1 litre of pure water for it to be full. That one litre also equals one kilogram. Erm. I hate to be the picky one, but litre is not part of the official SI system. It is accepted as a measure, but the correct unit of measure of volume is cubic meter (m¦). Also. The kilogram used to be defined in the terms of a litre of water until people learned that there is no such thing as pure water, even if you disregard the problems with various isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen in it. So the kilogram is defined as "whatever happens to have the same mass as a thingy that's stored in a safe place outside Paris" and incidentally the thingy in Paris is losing mass very slowly, so the measurement science is in trouble and are trying to find a better reference mass.
Marine HK4861 Caldari Seoltachd	Posted - 2007.09.15 21:17:00 - [28] Originally by: Nian Banks 1t = one metric ton I'd like to point out that 1 metric ton is just a short hand. The correct notation would be 1 mega-gram (1x10e6 grams).

Of course, spaceships don't have to deal with friction. in eve even spaceships deal with friction, look at how ships act man, someone even calculated that space must consist of motor-oil for stuff to move this slow and be de-accelerated as much It's great being Amarr isn't it.
