About these units
Centimeter/Second (cm/s)
A centimeter per second is widely used in hydrology, biology, and physics to measure modest fluid flows, blood velocities, small organism movement, or lab-scale chemical transport. In medicine, cm/s is important in Doppler ultrasound, where blood flow speeds in arteries and veins are routinely measured. In physical sciences, cm/s appears in low-speed fluid mechanics experiments, sediment transport studies, and oceanographic microcurrent analysis. It offers a convenient, human-comprehensible scale for small but dynamic systems.
Meter/Hour (m/h)
A meter per hour is an extremely slow speed, corresponding to the distance of a single meter traveled over a 60-minute period. This unit is rarely encountered in daily life but is useful in engineering contexts where mechanical motion is very slow—such as conveyor systems, slow-moving robotics, geological creep, or precision laboratory instruments. Environmental sciences also use m/h to describe gradual natural processes like glacier movement or soil displacement. The unit highlights the diversity of real-world velocities—from near-light-speed phenomena to movements almost imperceptibly slow.
