Kilometer/hour

Kilometer per hour (km/h) is a unit of speed expressing the number of kilometers traveled in one hour.

History/Origin

The km/h unit originated from the metric system, developed in France during the late 18th century, and became widely adopted for measuring speed in transportation and scientific contexts.

Current Use

Km/h is commonly used worldwide to specify vehicle speeds, speed limits, and other applications involving the measurement of speed in everyday life and transportation systems.


Foot/hour

Foot per hour (ft/h) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one foot traveled in one hour.

History/Origin

The foot per hour has historically been used in engineering and construction to measure slow speeds, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard. Its usage has declined with the adoption of metric units and more common speed measurements like meters per second or miles per hour.

Current Use

Today, foot per hour is rarely used in practical applications but may still appear in specialized fields such as certain engineering, construction, or scientific contexts where imperial units are maintained.
