Yard/minute
Yard per minute (yd/min) is a unit of speed representing the number of yards traveled in one minute.
History/Origin
The yard has been a traditional unit of length in the imperial system, and the yard per minute has historically been used to measure slow speeds, especially in contexts like machinery or manufacturing. Its usage has declined with the adoption of metric units.
Current Use
Today, yard per minute is rarely used in modern applications but may still be encountered in specific industries or legacy systems where imperial units are retained for measurement of speed or rate.
Mach (20°c, 1 Atm)
Mach is a unit of speed representing the ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound in the surrounding medium, typically at 20°C and 1 atm pressure.
History/Origin
Named after physicist Ernst Mach, the Mach number was developed in the early 20th century to describe speeds relative to the speed of sound, especially in aeronautics and fluid dynamics.
Current Use
Mach is widely used in aeronautics and astronautics to express aircraft and spacecraft speeds, particularly in high-speed flight and supersonic travel contexts.
