About these units
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.
Yard/Second (yd/s)
A yard per second is a moderately fast speed, equal to 3 ft/s or 0.9144 m/s, used in some athletic contexts—particularly American football or sprinting analysis. It provides an intuitive measure for sports where yard-based distances dominate. Because the unit aligns with common field dimensions, it simplifies performance evaluation in training and gameplay. The yard per second reflects the enduring influence of imperial measurements in American athletics.
