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.
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.
