About these units

Millimeter/Second (mm/s)

A millimeter per second is a useful speed in robotics, precision machining, biomechanics, and controlled engineering systems. Robotic arms performing delicate manipulation, small servo motors, and scanning instruments often operate in the mm/s speed range. In seismology, mm/s measures the vibration velocities of the ground during micro tremors, making it essential in structural engineering and earthquake monitoring. It reflects the world of fine-scale, controlled motion—beyond what the human eye typically detects.

Speed of Sound in Sea Water (vₛₑₐ)

In sea water, the speed of sound is generally higher—around 1,530–1,540 m/s—due to dissolved salts, temperature gradients, and pressure at depth. Sea water's complex structure causes refraction of sound waves, creating deep sound channels (like the SOFAR channel) that allow sound to travel vast distances with minimal attenuation. Oceanographers use sound-speed profiles to map underwater topography, measure ocean temperatures, and study global climate patterns. The speed of sound in sea water is essential for both marine ecology and military navigation.
