Meter/hour
Meter per hour (m/h) is a unit of speed representing the distance in meters traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The meter per hour has been used historically in various contexts to measure slow speeds, especially in fields like transportation and engineering, though it is less common today due to the adoption of SI units like meters per second.
Current Use
Currently, meter per hour is primarily used in specialized applications such as measuring slow-moving processes, environmental monitoring, or in certain industrial contexts where precise, low-speed measurements are required.
Centimeter/second
A unit of speed representing the distance of one centimeter traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The centimeter per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts where metric units are standard, especially before the widespread adoption of SI units. It is a derived unit based on the centimeter and second, both of which have historical roots in the metric system developed in France during the late 18th century.
Current Use
The centimeter per second is primarily used in scientific research, fluid dynamics, and engineering applications where small-scale speed measurements are required. It is also used in certain fields like biology and physics for precise velocity measurements.
