Mós

Mós may refer to the following places in Portugal:

  • Mós (Bragança), a civil parish in the municipality of Bragança
  • Mós (Torre de Moncorvo), a civil parish in the municipality of Torre de Moncorvo
  • Mós (Vila Nova de Foz Côa), a civil parish in the municipality of Vila Nova de Foz Côa
  • Mós (Vila Verde), a civil parish in the municipality of Vila Verde
  • Metre per second

    Metre per second (U.S. spelling: meter per second) is an SI derived unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity which specifies both magnitude and a specific direction), defined by distance in metres divided by time in seconds.

    The SI unit symbols are m·s−1, m s−1, m/s, or m/s, sometimes (unofficially) abbreviated as "mps". Where metres per second are several orders of magnitude too slow to be convenient, such as in astronomical measurements, velocities may be given in kilometres per second, where 1 km/s is 1000 metres per second, sometimes unofficially abbreviated as "kps".

    Conversions

    1 m/s is equivalent to:

    1 foot per second = 0.3048 m/s (exactly)

    1 mile per hour = 0.44704 m/s (exactly)

    1 km/h = 0.27 m/s (exactly)

    1 kilometre per second is equivalent to:

    Relation to other measures

    The benz, named in honour of Karl Benz, has been proposed as a name for one metre per second. Although it has seen some support as a practical unit, primarily from German sources, it was rejected as the SI unit of velocity and has not seen widespread use or acceptance.

    Metre per second squared

    The metre per second squared is the unit of acceleration in the International System of Units (SI). As a derived unit it is composed from the SI base units of length, the metre, and time, the second. Its symbol is written in several forms as m/s2, m·s−2 or m s−2, or less commonly, as m/s/s.

    As acceleration, the unit is interpreted physically as change in velocity or speed per time interval, i.e. metre per second per second and is treated as a vector quantity.

    Example

    An object experiences a constant acceleration of one metre per second squared (1 m/s2) from a state of rest, when it achieves the speed of 5 m/s after 5 seconds and 10 m/s after 10 seconds.

    Related units

    Newton's Second Law states that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration. The unit of force is the newton (N), and mass has the SI unit kilogram (kg). One newton equals one kilogram metre per second squared. Therefore, the unit metre per second squared is equivalent to newton per kilogram, N·kg−1, or N/kg.

    Supafly

    SUPAFLY (also known as Supafly Inc.) is a British dance act composed of Panos Liassi (Mister P) and Andrew Tumi (wOne).

    Musical career

    Supafly is best known for 2005's "Let's Get Down" - which was a club hit around the world and used by the Australian television network FOX8 as their summer theme song; and for "Moving Too Fast" in late 2006, which sampled from the Phil Collins' hit "Another Day in Paradise". Supafly picked up the Best Newcomer Award at the 2006 Urban Music Awards.

    Supafly's sound is a blend of reggae/hip hop/ and dance. Supafly's success has led them to sold out tours, performing to crowds of up to 25,000.

    Now London based, the essence of their sun-filled sound developed partly from Mister P and wOne’s stint in Australia. Inspired by the sunshine and the live music scene in Melbourne, their time away proved to be an inspiration for Supafly's signature tune, "Let's Get Down". It was written on one of the hottest days in Australia's history.

    wOne

    wOne is an accomplished singer, songwriter and producer. He has collaborated on several seminal dance hits and enjoyed a successful career with Supafly spanning more than ten years. wOne is currently in Ghana, West Africa exploring his musical roots and working on a new concept that fuses music and creativity to aid African development.
