Mile/hour
Mile per hour (mi/h) is a unit of speed representing the number of miles traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The mile per hour has been used primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom for measuring speed, especially in transportation, since the adoption of the imperial system. Its usage dates back to the widespread use of miles as a distance measure before metric standardization.
Current Use
Today, mi/h is commonly used in the United States and some other countries to express vehicle speeds, speed limits, and other transportation-related velocities. It remains a standard unit in contexts where the imperial system is prevalent.
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.
