Land speed

An object's speed across land is measured by difference in movement between the object and the land beneath it. Atmospheric pressure and aerodynamics must be considered when attempting to calculate possible speeds from the force applied.

## Units

Common units of land speed include:

* kilometers per hour, (symbol km/h)
* miles per hour, (symbol m/h)
* meters per second, (symbol ms−1), the SI derived unit
