Mph is an abbreviation that stands for miles per hour. It represents the number of miles a vehicle or object travels in one hour and is a common unit for measuring speed.
In simpler terms, if a car is traveling at 60 mph, it means the car will cover 60 miles in one hour if it maintains that speed.
Here's a breakdown:
- Miles: A unit of distance measurement.
- Per: Meaning "for each" or "in each."
- Hour: A unit of time measurement.
Mph is widely used in the United States and the United Kingdom for indicating speed limits on roads and the speed of vehicles. Other countries typically use kilometers per hour (km/h).
For example:
- "The speed limit on this highway is 65 mph."
- "The car was traveling at 75 mph."
