Kilometer/hour
Kilometer per hour (km/h) is a unit of speed expressing the number of kilometers traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The km/h unit originated from the metric system, developed in France during the late 18th century, and became widely adopted for measuring speed in transportation and scientific contexts.
Current Use
Km/h is commonly used worldwide to specify vehicle speeds, speed limits, and other applications involving the measurement of speed in everyday life and transportation systems.
Millimeter/minute
Millimeter per minute (mm/min) is a unit of speed that measures the distance in millimeters traveled per minute.
History/Origin
The millimeter per minute has been used in various scientific and industrial contexts to quantify slow speeds, especially in precision engineering and manufacturing processes. It is derived from the metric system's millimeter unit and the time unit minute, with usage increasing alongside the adoption of metric measurements.
Current Use
Today, mm/min is commonly used in fields such as machining, 3D printing, and material testing to specify the rate of movement or processing speed in precise, small-scale applications.
