Mile/second
A mile per second (mi/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one mile traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The mile per second has been used primarily in scientific contexts, especially in astronomy and physics, to measure extremely high velocities such as those of celestial objects. Its usage has been limited due to the convenience of metric units in scientific measurement.
Current Use
Today, the mile per second is mainly used in scientific research, particularly in astrophysics and space science, to describe high-velocity phenomena like the speed of spacecraft, stars, or other celestial bodies.
Yard/minute
Yard per minute (yd/min) is a unit of speed representing the number of yards traveled in one minute.
History/Origin
The yard has been a traditional unit of length in the imperial system, and the yard per minute has historically been used to measure slow speeds, especially in contexts like machinery or manufacturing. Its usage has declined with the adoption of metric units.
Current Use
Today, yard per minute is rarely used in modern applications but may still be encountered in specific industries or legacy systems where imperial units are retained for measurement of speed or rate.
