How to convert

1 centimeter per second (cm/s) = 0.393700787 inch per second (in/s). Centimeter Per Second (cm/s) is a unit of Speed used in Metric system. Inch Per Second (in/s) is a unit of Speed used in Standard system.

Centimeters per second: A unit of speed

Centimeters per second (cm/s) is a unit of speed or velocity in the International System of Units (SI). It measures how fast an object is moving by calculating the distance traveled in centimeters divided by the time taken in seconds. For example, if a snail travels 10 centimeters in 10 seconds, its speed is 1 cm/s.

How to convert centimeters per second

Centimeters per second can be converted to other units of speed or velocity by using simple conversion factors. Here are some common units and their conversion factors:

  • Meters per second (m/s): To convert from cm/s to m/s, divide by 100. To convert from m/s to cm/s, multiply by 100. For example, 1 cm/s is equal to 0.01 m/s, and 10 m/s is equal to 1000 cm/s.

Where centimeters per second are used

Centimeters per second are mainly used in biology and medicine to measure the speed or velocity of small organisms and processes.

For example, the average speed of a common snail is about 1 cm/s.

The average speed of blood flow in capillaries is about 0.5 cm/s.

The average speed of nerve impulses in the human body is about 100 cm/s.

Definition of centimeters per second

According to the SI definition, one centimeter per second is the speed of a body that covers a distance of one centimeter in a time of one second.

Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

where v is the speed or velocity in centimeters per second, s is the distance traveled in centimeters, and t is the time taken in seconds.

History of centimeters per second

The concept of speed or velocity has been studied since ancient times by philosophers and scientists such as Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, etc.

The centimeter was originally derived from the meter in the late 18th century as one hundredth of a meter.

The second was originally defined in terms of the Earth’s rotation as one eighty-six thousand four hundredth of a mean solar day.

The combination of these two units resulted in the centimeter per second as a unit of speed or velocity.

The centimeter per second was officially adopted as part of the SI system in 1960.

Where inches per second are used

Inches per second are mainly used in engineering and manufacturing to measure the speed or velocity of machines and processes.

For example, the cutting speed of a lathe or a milling machine is often given in inches per minute, which is equivalent to inches per second divided by 60.

History of inches per second

The concept of speed or velocity has been studied since ancient times by philosophers and scientists such as Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, etc.

The inch was originally derived from the Roman uncia which was one twelfth of a Roman foot or about 0.97 inches .
