About these units
Mile/Minute (mi/min)
A mile per minute corresponds to 60 miles per hour, making it a bridge between mph and high-speed conceptual measures. Aircraft climb rates, emergency vehicle response metrics, and theoretical speed comparisons sometimes use mi/min for rapid mental calculations. The unit is also used historically in railway performance, where achieving "a mile a minute" once symbolized extraordinary locomotive speed. Today it stands as both a technical unit and a romantic benchmark of transportation history.
Centimeter/Minute (cm/min)
A centimeter per minute is a very slow but measurable speed, ideal for documenting the movement of small mechanical devices, capillary flow, microfluidics, or slow conveyor systems. Medical applications include infusion pump rates, which may sometimes be described in cm/min when relating to catheter insertion or microdroplet transport speed. Because centimeters align with everyday physical intuition, this unit strikes a balance between precision and accessibility in niche scientific applications.
