convvel

Convert from current velocity units to desired velocity units

Syntax

convertedValues = convvel(valuesToConvert,inputVelocityUnits,outputVelocityUnits)

Description

convertedValues = convvel(valuesToConvert,inputVelocityUnits,outputVelocityUnits) converts all velocity values from input velocity units to output velocity units. All values have the same unit conversions from inputVelocityUnits to outputVelocityUnits.

Examples

Convert Three Velocities

Convert three velocities from feet per minute to meters per second.

a = convvel([30 100 250],'ft/min','m/s')

a =

    0.1524    0.5080    1.2700
