The following are mostly in the category of useful
"rules of thumb". In some cases checking the
validity is an exercise in unit conversions (but
sometimes not).
Speed of light = 1 foot per nanosecond.
Inverse speed of sound = 5 seconds per mile.
Room temperature = 25 meV (milli electron volts).
Inverse acceleration of gravity in aviation units:
9 feet per knot, per (hundred knots).
