SUMMARY

The conversion of millimeters per second (mm/s) to meters per second (m/s) is achieved by dividing the value in mm/s by 1000, as there are 1000 millimeters in a meter. This method is particularly relevant for calculating the drift velocity of electrons. For convenience, online tools such as Google or the Qonos unit conversion calculator can be utilized for unit conversions. The factor label method is also an effective technique for performing such conversions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic unit conversion principles
  • Familiarity with drift velocity concepts in physics
  • Knowledge of online unit conversion tools
  • Basic mathematical skills for performing division
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the concept of drift velocity in electron transport
  • Learn about the factor label method for unit conversions
  • Explore online unit conversion tools and their functionalities
  • Investigate the applications of drift velocity in semiconductor physics
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics, educators teaching unit conversions, and professionals working in fields related to semiconductor technology and electron transport phenomena.

I wanted to know how to covert mm/s to m/s. This units are associated with the drift velocity of electrons.
Thanks :confused:

...divide by 1000. There are 1000 millimeters in a meter ("m" stands for "milli"). In general, you can do unit conversions on google or http://qonos.princeton.edu/nbond/unicalc/calculator.php .

Do a "factor label method"

\frac{mm}{s}*\frac{1 meter}{1000 mm}

Then cross out the mm's.
