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.
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.
