The Mile per hour (mph) in Speed

What is Mile per hour (mph)

Mile per hour, commonly abbreviated as mph, is a unit of speed that represents the number of miles traveled in one hour. It is widely used in the United States and a few other countries to indicate the speed of vehicles. This unit provides a simple way to understand how fast something is moving over an hour-long distance.

To provide context, one mile is equivalent to 5280 feet, while an hour consists of 60 minutes. Therefore, mph is often used on road signs, speedometers, and in various transportation regulations.
