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.
Meter/minute
Meter per minute (m/min) is a unit of speed representing the distance in meters traveled in one minute.
History/Origin
The meter per minute has been used historically in various fields such as manufacturing and transportation to measure speed, especially before the widespread adoption of SI units. It is a derived unit based on the meter, the SI base unit of length, and the minute, a unit of time.
Current Use
Today, m/min is primarily used in specific industrial and engineering contexts to measure linear speed, particularly where minute-level precision is sufficient, although the SI unit meters per second (m/s) is more common in scientific applications.
