About these units
Yard/Minute (yd/min)
A yard per minute is used in sports coaching, physical training, and some industrial processes. Coaches may track a swimmer's or runner's speed informally using yards per minute, especially in regions where yard-based pools or tracks still exist. Certain fabric and material-feed systems also use yd/min to specify production speed, as textiles and printing industries historically measured length in yards. The unit bridges athletic training and industrial applications in imperial-unit contexts.
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.
