Centimeter/hour
Centimeter per hour (cm/h) is a unit of speed that measures the distance in centimeters traveled or covered in one hour.
History/Origin
The centimeter per hour has been used primarily in scientific and industrial contexts to measure slow rates of movement or growth, especially in fields like biology and material science. Its usage became more standardized with the adoption of the metric system in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, cm/h is used in applications such as measuring the rate of biological growth, sedimentation, or the movement of fluids and materials in scientific research and engineering.
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.
