Since we are talking about “useful approximations”, one I have always found useful in robotics is doubling m/s to get miles per hour. While a bit “rough” usually “good enough” for when thinking about normal driving speeds. Here are some examples:
1 m/s ~ 2 mph (2.2 mph)
5 m/s ~ 10 mph (11.2 mph)
10 m/s ~ 20 mph (22.4 mph)
20 m/s ~ 40 mph (44.7 mph)
30 m/s ~ 60 mph (67.1 mph)
You could argue that it is a very rough estimation, but I find that most times you are just trying to get a “rough speed” when doing this conversion anyway.
