About Meter
Definition: The meter per second (symbol: m/s) is the SI unit of speed, expressing distance traveled in meters during one second.
History: Natural derivative of the meter and second SI base units. Became standard for scientific velocity and speed measurements.
Current Use: Universal standard for scientific speed measurements, physics calculations, and engineering applications worldwide.
Examples: Walking: 1.4 m/s, running: 5-10 m/s, cycling: 5-15 m/s, sound in air: 343 m/s
About Centimeter
Definition: The centimeter per second (symbol: cm/s) expresses speed as centimeters traveled in one second.
History: Metric subdivision useful for measuring slow movements and small-scale velocity measurements.
Current Use: Used for measuring slow fluid flow, biological movements, geological processes, and laboratory applications.
Examples: Plant growth: 0.01 cm/s, blood flow: 10-50 cm/s, geological drift: 10⁻⁶ cm/s, laboratory flows
