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.
Meter/second
The meter per second (m/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance in meters traveled per second.
History/Origin
The meter per second has been used as a standard unit of speed in the International System of Units (SI) since the adoption of the SI system in 1960, based on the meter defined by the speed of light.
Current Use
It is commonly used in physics, engineering, and everyday contexts to measure velocity, such as in transportation, aerodynamics, and scientific research.
