Convert centimeter/minute to Mach (20°C, 1 atm)
Please provide values below to convert centimeter/minute [cm/min] to Mach (20°C, 1 atm) [M], or Convert Mach (20°C, 1 atm) to centimeter/minute.
How to Convert Centimeter/minute to Mach (20°c, 1 Atm)
1 cm/min = 4.85908746355685e-07 M
Example: convert 15 cm/min to M:
15 cm/min = 15 × 4.85908746355685e-07 M = 7.28863119533528e-06 M

Centimeter/minute
A unit of speed representing the number of centimeters traveled per minute.
History/Origin
The centimeter per minute has been used in various scientific and industrial contexts to measure slow speeds, especially before the widespread adoption of SI units. It is derived from the centimeter, a metric unit of length, combined with the minute, a unit of time.
Current Use
Currently, the centimeter per minute is primarily used in specialized fields such as material testing, manufacturing processes, and scientific research where precise measurement of slow movements or rates is required. It is less common in everyday applications, having been largely replaced by SI units like meters per second.
Mach (20°c, 1 Atm)
Mach is a unit of speed representing the ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound in the surrounding medium, typically at 20°C and 1 atm pressure.
History/Origin
Named after physicist Ernst Mach, the Mach number was developed in the early 20th century to describe speeds relative to the speed of sound, especially in aeronautics and fluid dynamics.
Current Use
Mach is widely used in aeronautics and astronautics to express aircraft and spacecraft speeds, particularly in high-speed flight and supersonic travel contexts.
