Please provide values below to convert centimeter/minute [cm/min] to Mach (SI standard) [M (SI)], or Convert Mach (SI standard) to centimeter/minute.
How to Convert Centimeter/minute to Mach (Si Standard)
1 cm/min = 5.64589092140921e-07 M (SI)
Example: convert 15 cm/min to M (SI):
15 cm/min = 15 × 5.64589092140921e-07 M (SI) = 8.46883638211382e-06 M (SI)

Centimeter/minute
A unit of speed representing the number of centimeters traveled per minute.
History/Origin
The centimeter per minute has been used in various scientific and industrial contexts to measure slow speeds, especially before the widespread adoption of SI units. It is derived from the centimeter, a metric unit of length, combined with the minute, a unit of time.
Current Use
Currently, the centimeter per minute is primarily used in specialized fields such as material testing, manufacturing processes, and scientific research where precise measurement of slow movements or rates is required. It is less common in everyday applications, having been largely replaced by SI units like meters per second.
Mach (Si Standard)
The Mach number is a dimensionless unit representing the ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound in the surrounding medium.
History/Origin
Named after the Austrian physicist Ernst Mach, the Mach number was introduced in the early 20th century to describe supersonic and hypersonic speeds, initially used in aerodynamics and fluid dynamics research.
Current Use
The Mach number is widely used in aeronautics and astronautics to specify aircraft and spacecraft speeds relative to the local speed of sound, especially in high-speed flight regimes.
