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.
Millimeter/second
Millimeter per second (mm/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one millimeter traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The millimeter per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure small-scale velocities, especially in fields like fluid dynamics and material science, as a standard unit derived from the metric system.
Current Use
Today, mm/s is commonly used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications to quantify low velocities, such as in microfluidics, biomechanics, and precision manufacturing.
