Centimeter/second
A unit of speed representing the distance of one centimeter traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The centimeter per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts where metric units are standard, especially before the widespread adoption of SI units. It is a derived unit based on the centimeter and second, both of which have historical roots in the metric system developed in France during the late 18th century.
Current Use
The centimeter per second is primarily used in scientific research, fluid dynamics, and engineering applications where small-scale speed measurements are required. It is also used in certain fields like biology and physics for precise velocity measurements.
Yard/second
Yard per second (yd/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one yard traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The yard has been used as a unit of length since the 12th century, primarily in the UK and the US. The yard/second as a speed unit emerged with the adoption of the yard in measurement systems, but it is less common than other units like meters per second.
Current Use
Yard per second is occasionally used in fields such as aviation, sports, and engineering within the United States and the UK for measuring speeds where imperial units are preferred.
