What Is This Tool?
This tool converts speed values from foot/second (ft/s), a unit used primarily in US customary and Imperial systems, into centimeter/hour (cm/h), a metric unit suitable for measuring very slow velocities in scientific and engineering contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the value in foot/second you want to convert
- Select foot/second (ft/s) as the source unit
- Choose centimeter/hour (cm/h) as the target unit
- Click convert to see the equivalent speed in centimeters per hour
Key Features
- Converts foot/second to centimeter/hour with an exact conversion factor
- Supports applications in physics, engineering, hydrogeology, and more
- Browser-based and easy to use for quick unit translations
- Provides clear examples to help understand conversion steps
Examples
- Convert 2 ft/s: 2 times 109,728 equals 219,456 cm/h
- Convert 0.5 ft/s: 0.5 times 109,728 equals 54,864 cm/h
Common Use Cases
- Specifying projectile or muzzle velocities in ballistics
- Reporting airflow or fluid velocities in engineering using customary units
- Measuring very slow groundwater flow rates in hydrogeology
- Monitoring soil or structural creep in geotechnical engineering
- Controlling precise low-speed movements in laboratory instrumentation
Tips & Best Practices
- Use this conversion when translating faster customary speeds to very slow metric speeds
- Be mindful that resulting values can be large and should be handled appropriately
- Apply the tool for precise low-velocity measurements rather than high-speed scenarios
Limitations
- The conversion can generate very large numbers which might be cumbersome
- Centimeter/hour is intended for slow velocities and may not suit high-speed data
- Precision considerations are important when using this unit for fast speeds
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does foot/second measure?
- Foot/second (ft/s) measures speed in the US customary and Imperial systems representing one foot traveled in one second.
- When is centimeter/hour used?
- Centimeter/hour (cm/h) measures very slow linear speeds, often used for monitoring slow motion in hydrogeology, geotechnical engineering, and precision labs.
- Why convert from foot/second to centimeter/hour?
- Conversion is useful to translate faster speeds in customary units to much slower metric speeds suited for precise measurements and controls.
Key Terminology
- Foot/second (ft/s)
- A unit of speed in the US customary and Imperial systems defined as one foot traveled in one second, exactly 0.3048 metres per second.
- Centimeter/hour (cm/h)
- A non-SI derived unit of linear speed indicating how many centimeters are traveled in one hour, used to report very slow velocities.
