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.
Meter/minute
Meter per minute (m/min) is a unit of speed representing the distance in meters traveled in one minute.
History/Origin
The meter per minute has been used historically in various fields such as manufacturing and transportation to measure speed, especially before the widespread adoption of SI units. It is a derived unit based on the meter, the SI base unit of length, and the minute, a unit of time.
Current Use
Today, m/min is primarily used in specific industrial and engineering contexts to measure linear speed, particularly where minute-level precision is sufficient, although the SI unit meters per second (m/s) is more common in scientific applications.
