About these units
Meter/Minute (m/min)
A meter per minute reflects slow but practical speeds for human or mechanical movement. At 1 m/min, motion is deliberate and controlled—appropriate for precision machining, automated stage equipment, or calibration systems. In exercise science, treadmill incline adjustments, warm-up activity, and walking machines may use m/min for exact gait-speed research. The simplicity of dividing by minutes rather than hours makes the unit useful for short-interval calculations in engineering and ergonomics.
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.
