Understanding Speed Conversion
What is a Centimeter per Second?
A centimeter per second (cm/s) is an SI unit of speed in the metric system, measuring the distance in centimeters traveled in one second. It's commonly used in scientific measurements and calculations.
What is a Knot?
A knot (kn) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. It's primarily used in marine navigation and aviation. One knot represents approximately 1.852 kilometers per hour or 0.514444 meters per second.
