Foot/hour
Foot per hour (ft/h) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one foot traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The foot per hour has historically been used in engineering and construction to measure slow speeds, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard. Its usage has declined with the adoption of metric units and more common speed measurements like meters per second or miles per hour.
Current Use
Today, foot per hour is rarely used in practical applications but may still appear in specialized fields such as certain engineering, construction, or scientific contexts where imperial units are maintained.
Mile/hour
Mile per hour (mi/h) is a unit of speed representing the number of miles traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The mile per hour has been used primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom for measuring speed, especially in transportation, since the adoption of the imperial system. Its usage dates back to the widespread use of miles as a distance measure before metric standardization.
Current Use
Today, mi/h is commonly used in the United States and some other countries to express vehicle speeds, speed limits, and other transportation-related velocities. It remains a standard unit in contexts where the imperial system is prevalent.
