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.
Kilometer/minute
Kilometer per minute (km/min) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one kilometer traveled in one minute.
History/Origin
The kilometer per minute has been used primarily in contexts requiring rapid measurement of speed, such as in transportation and engineering, though it is less common than units like km/h or m/s. Its usage has declined with the adoption of standardized SI units.
Current Use
Today, km/min is mainly used in specialized fields like aviation, military, or scientific calculations where high-speed measurements are relevant, but it is not a standard unit in everyday measurements or most international standards.
