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/hour
Meter per hour (m/h) is a unit of speed representing the distance in meters traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The meter per hour has been used historically in various contexts to measure slow speeds, especially in fields like transportation and engineering, though it is less common today due to the adoption of SI units like meters per second.
Current Use
Currently, meter per hour is primarily used in specialized applications such as measuring slow-moving processes, environmental monitoring, or in certain industrial contexts where precise, low-speed measurements are required.
