What is a centimeter per second (cm/s)?

A centimeter per second is a speed unit representing one centimetre of distance traveled every second, commonly used in the centimetre–gram–second system.

When should I use foot per hour (ft/h)?

Foot per hour is ideal for expressing very slow speeds, such as geological creep or low-speed conveyor motions, where measurements occur over hourly timeframes.

Why convert cm/s to ft/h?

Converting cm/s to ft/h helps interpret slow speeds measured in metric units into imperial terms, which is useful for applications where imperial units are standard.
