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.
Yard/hour
Yard per hour (yd/h) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one yard traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The yard has been a traditional unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, and units like yard per hour have historically been used for measuring slow speeds, especially in contexts like textiles and manufacturing. Its usage has declined with the adoption of metric units.
Current Use
Yard per hour is rarely used today, primarily in specialized or historical contexts. It may still be referenced in certain industries or for conversions involving imperial units, but it is largely replaced by metric units such as meters per second or kilometers per hour.
