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.
Velocity Of Sound In Pure Water
The velocity of sound in pure water is the speed at which sound waves propagate through water under ideal, pure conditions, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).
History/Origin
The measurement of sound velocity in water has been studied since the 19th century, with early experiments by physicists like Lord Rayleigh, contributing to the understanding of acoustic properties of water and its dependence on temperature, pressure, and salinity.
Current Use
The velocity of sound in water is used in underwater acoustics, sonar technology, oceanography, and environmental monitoring to determine water properties, map underwater features, and facilitate communication and navigation.
