What does meter per minute represent?

Meter per minute (m/min) is a speed unit indicating how many meters are traveled in one minute, often used for linear speeds in manufacturing and engineering.

When would I use mile per second as a speed unit?

Mile per second (mi/s) is used to express very high speeds, such as spacecraft velocities or high-speed aerospace phenomena.

Why are the converted values so small when changing from m/min to mi/s?

Because mile per second units represent much higher speeds, converting from slower meter per minute speeds results in very small decimal values.
