Yard/second
Yard per second (yd/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one yard traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The yard has been used as a unit of length since the 12th century, primarily in the UK and the US. The yard/second as a speed unit emerged with the adoption of the yard in measurement systems, but it is less common than other units like meters per second.
Current Use
Yard per second is occasionally used in fields such as aviation, sports, and engineering within the United States and the UK for measuring speeds where imperial units are preferred.
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.
