Convert Meters Per Minute to Feet Per Hour (m/min to ft/h) ▶ Conversion Table
How to convert1 foot per hour (ft/h) = 0.00508 meter per minute (m/min). Foot Per Hour (ft/h) is a unit of Speed used in Standard system. Meter Per Minute (m/min) is a unit of Speed used in Metric system. Feet Per HourDefinition of Feet Per HourFeet per hour (f/h) is a unit of speed that measures how fast something is moving in terms of feet per unit of time. It is a US Standard unit that is derived from the base unit of length, the foot, and the base unit of time, the hour. It is rarely used however, as the units of feet per second and miles per hour are considered sufficient for most situations. One foot per hour is equal to 0.000084666666666667 meters per second, or 0.0003048 kilometers per hour. It can also be converted to other units of speed, such as miles per hour, knots, or meters per second, by using appropriate conversion factors. How to Convert Feet Per HourTo convert feet per hour to other units of speed, we need to multiply or divide by the corresponding conversion factors. For example, to convert feet per hour to miles per hour, we need to multiply by 0.0001893939394, since there are 0.0001893939394 miles in one foot. To convert feet per hour to meters per second, we need to multiply by 0.000084666666666667, since there are 0.000084666666666667 meters in one foot. Here are some examples of how to convert feet per hour to other units of length in the US Standard system and the SI system:
Where Feet Per Hour Are UsedFeet per hour are mainly used for measuring very slow speeds or velocities of objects or phenomena that move in terms of feet per unit of time. They are often used in scientific fields such as geology, biology, astronomy, and physics, where the speed or velocity of an object or phenomenon is very small compared to the usual units of speed. For example, a glacier may have a speed of a few feet per hour, which means that it moves a few feet in one hour. A snail may have a speed of up to 47 feet per hour, which means that it can travel up to 47 feet in one hour.1 A planet may have an orbital velocity of thousands of feet per hour, which means that it covers thousands of feet along its orbit in one hour. Feet per hour are also used in some other fields where the speed or velocity of an object or phenomenon is measured in terms of feet per unit of time. History of Feet Per HourThe origin of feet per hour as a unit of speed can be traced back to the development of the US Standard system and the foot as a unit of length in the late eighteenth century. The foot was defined as one third of a yard based on the English standard foot. The term foot first appeared in English in the late fourteenth century, but it was not until later in the early nineteenth century that the use of feet per hour became more common; before that, other units such as inches per hour or yards per hour were preferred for expressing speed. Feet per hour have been used ever since as a standard unit of speed for measuring very slow speeds or velocities of objects or phenomena that move in terms of feet per unit of time. They have also been adopted by some international organizations and conventions, such as the International System of Units and the International Astronomical Union. Example Conversions of Feet Per Hour to Other UnitsHere are some examples of how to convert feet per hour to other units of speed, using the conversion factors given above:
Meters per minute: A unit of speedMeters per minute (m/min) 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 meters divided by the time taken in minutes. For example, if a car travels 600 meters in 10 minutes, its speed is 60 m/min. How to convert meters per minuteMeters per minute can be converted to other units of speed or velocity by using simple conversion factors. Here are some common units and their conversion factors:
Where meters per minute are usedMeters per minute 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 meters per minute, which indicates how fast the tool moves relative to the workpiece. The conveyor belt speed of a production line is often given in meters per minute, which indicates how fast the products move along the belt. The airspeed of a glider or a balloon is often given in meters per minute, which indicates how fast the aircraft ascends or descends. Definition of meters per minuteAccording to the SI definition, one meter per minute is the speed of a body that covers a distance of one meter in a time of one minute. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:
where v is the speed or velocity in meters per minute, s is the distance traveled in meters, and t is the time taken in minutes. History of meters per minuteThe concept of speed or velocity has been studied since ancient times by philosophers and scientists such as Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, etc. The meter was originally derived from the French meter which was defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. The minute was originally derived from the Babylonian sexagesimal system which divided an hour into sixty minutes. The combination of these two units resulted in the meter per minute as a unit of speed or velocity. The meter per minute was officially adopted as part of the SI system in 1960. Example conversions of meters per minute to other unitsHere are some examples of converting meters per minute to other units of speed or velocity: 1 m/min = 0.0166667 m/s = 0.06 km/h = 0.0372823 mph = 0.0323974 kn = 3.2808399 ft/min = 39.3700787 in/min Español Russian Français |
