Meter/minute
Meter per minute (m/min) is a unit of speed representing the distance in meters traveled in one minute.
History/Origin
The meter per minute has been used historically in various fields such as manufacturing and transportation to measure speed, especially before the widespread adoption of SI units. It is a derived unit based on the meter, the SI base unit of length, and the minute, a unit of time.
Current Use
Today, m/min is primarily used in specific industrial and engineering contexts to measure linear speed, particularly where minute-level precision is sufficient, although the SI unit meters per second (m/s) is more common in scientific applications.
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.
