Meter/hour
Meter per hour (m/h) is a unit of speed representing the distance in meters traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The meter per hour has been used historically in various contexts to measure slow speeds, especially in fields like transportation and engineering, though it is less common today due to the adoption of SI units like meters per second.
Current Use
Currently, meter per hour is primarily used in specialized applications such as measuring slow-moving processes, environmental monitoring, or in certain industrial contexts where precise, low-speed measurements are required.
Centimeter/minute
A unit of speed representing the number of centimeters traveled per minute.
History/Origin
The centimeter per minute has been used in various scientific and industrial contexts to measure slow speeds, especially before the widespread adoption of SI units. It is derived from the centimeter, a metric unit of length, combined with the minute, a unit of time.
Current Use
Currently, the centimeter per minute is primarily used in specialized fields such as material testing, manufacturing processes, and scientific research where precise measurement of slow movements or rates is required. It is less common in everyday applications, having been largely replaced by SI units like meters per second.
