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.
Foot/minute
Foot per minute (ft/min) is a unit of speed representing the number of feet traveled in one minute.
History/Origin
The foot per minute has been used historically in engineering and construction to measure speed, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard. Its usage predates the widespread adoption of metric units.
Current Use
Today, ft/min is primarily used in fields such as HVAC, ventilation, and certain engineering applications to measure airflow or movement speed where imperial units are preferred.
