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.
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.
