Mile/second
A mile per second (mi/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one mile traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The mile per second has been used primarily in scientific contexts, especially in astronomy and physics, to measure extremely high velocities such as those of celestial objects. Its usage has been limited due to the convenience of metric units in scientific measurement.
Current Use
Today, the mile per second is mainly used in scientific research, particularly in astrophysics and space science, to describe high-velocity phenomena like the speed of spacecraft, stars, or other celestial bodies.
Centimeter/hour
Centimeter per hour (cm/h) is a unit of speed that measures the distance in centimeters traveled or covered in one hour.
History/Origin
The centimeter per hour has been used primarily in scientific and industrial contexts to measure slow rates of movement or growth, especially in fields like biology and material science. Its usage became more standardized with the adoption of the metric system in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, cm/h is used in applications such as measuring the rate of biological growth, sedimentation, or the movement of fluids and materials in scientific research and engineering.
