Mile/minute
A unit of speed representing the number of miles traveled per minute.
History/Origin
The mile per minute has been used historically in contexts such as aviation and transportation to measure rapid speeds before the widespread adoption of metric units and modern speed measurements like miles per hour or meters per second.
Current Use
Currently, mile per minute is rarely used in everyday contexts but may appear in specialized fields such as aviation, military, or scientific calculations where high-speed measurements are relevant.
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.
