What does one mile per minute represent?

One mile per minute (mi/min) is the speed of traveling one statute mile in one minute and equals 1,609.344 meters per 60 seconds or 60 miles per hour.

When should I use centimeters per second over miles per minute?

Centimeters per second is preferred for measuring small or slow speeds, such as in microfluidics, biology, or low-speed machinery calibration.

How can this conversion help in simulations?

It allows you to set speeds in animations or simulations that use miles as distance and minutes as time but require metric units at finer scales.
