Millimeter/second
Millimeter per second (mm/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one millimeter traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The millimeter per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure small-scale velocities, especially in fields like fluid dynamics and material science, as a standard unit derived from the metric system.
Current Use
Today, mm/s is commonly used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications to quantify low velocities, such as in microfluidics, biomechanics, and precision manufacturing.
Millimeter/hour
Millimeter per hour (mm/h) is a unit of measurement that indicates the rate of rainfall or precipitation, representing how many millimeters of water fall in one hour.
History/Origin
The millimeter per hour has been used in meteorology and hydrology to quantify rainfall intensity, especially with the advent of precise rain gauges and weather measurement tools in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, mm/h is commonly used in weather forecasting, climate studies, and hydrological assessments to measure and communicate the intensity of rainfall events.
