About these units
Foot/Second (ft/s)
The foot per second is an imperial speed unit used in engineering, ballistics, aviation, and certain sports sciences. It expresses the number of feet traveled per second. Ballistics experts use ft/s to measure bullet velocities and projectile speeds, particularly in countries with strong imperial-unit traditions. Engineers may use ft/s in fluid flow calculations or mechanical system design when working with legacy data. Although ft/s is rarely seen in daily life, it remains relevant in niche disciplines where imperial units dominate, offering a smaller, more precise scale than mph.
Centimeter/Hour (cm/h)
A centimeter per hour is used in fields where extremely slow processes are tracked, including seepage rates in soil hydrology, chemical diffusion fronts in laboratory experiments, and biological growth in certain organisms. Urban planning and material science may use cm/h to describe settlement rates in soft soils or long-term deformation of structural components. Although rarely used in public communication, cm/h is invaluable in precision scientific contexts where even a centimeter over an hour represents meaningful change.
