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.
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.
