About these units
Mile/Second (mi/s)
A mile per second is an extraordinarily fast speed—3,600 mph—far beyond any ground vehicle. This unit appears primarily in discussions of orbital mechanics, rocket propulsion, and reentry dynamics. Projectiles in theoretical physics or high-energy impact modeling may also be described in miles per second. The unit's infrequent use reflects its specialized nature, but its dramatic magnitude makes it compelling for illustrating the extremes of velocity attainable in space travel and astrophysics.
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.
