in this case, as typedefs for declaring a quantity of a particular type , you 
end up with

velocity:: m_per_s
velocity:: mi_per_h
acceleration::m_per_s2;
reciprocal_time::per_s;
reciprocal_mass::per_kg;
mass_flow::kg_per_s;

It might even be possible to abbreviate it and keep the sense:

velocity:: m_p_s
velocity:: mi_p_h
acceleration::m_p_s2;
reciprocal_time::p_s;
reciprocal_mass::p_kg;
mass_flow::kg_p_s;

FWIW
