Convert centimeter/hour to foot/second
Enter a value below to convert centimeter/hour [cm/h] to foot/second [ft/s]. Reverse conversion: Convert foot/second to centimeter/hour.
1 cm/h = 9.11351706037e-06 ft/s. To convert centimeter/hour to foot/second, multiply the value by 9.11351706037e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ft/s = 109727.122183 cm/h). Both units measure speed and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Centimeter/hour: Definition and Use
Centimeter per hour (cm/h) is a unit of speed that measures the distance in centimeters traveled or covered in one hour.
History/Origin
The centimeter per hour has been used primarily in scientific and industrial contexts to measure slow rates of movement or growth, especially in fields like biology and material science. Its usage became more standardized with the adoption of the metric system in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, cm/h is used in applications such as measuring the rate of biological growth, sedimentation, or the movement of fluids and materials in scientific research and engineering.
Foot/second: Definition and Use
Foot per second (ft/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one foot traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The foot per second has been used historically in engineering, physics, and aeronautics, originating from the imperial measurement system where the foot is a standard unit of length. Its usage predates the metric system and has been common in the United States and other countries using imperial units.
Current Use
Today, ft/s is primarily used in fields such as physics, engineering, and aviation to measure speeds, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard. It is also used in sports and safety standards related to speed measurements.
