Why convert from millimeter/minute to millimeter/second?

Converting to millimeter/second provides a standard, per-second measurement useful for real-time speed control, monitoring, and analysis in engineering contexts.

Can this conversion be used for fast-moving objects?

No, this converter is designed for very slow linear speeds typically found in precision machining, metrology, and similar applications.

Does this conversion account for changes in speed over time?

No, the conversion assumes the speed is steady during the measured interval and does not account for acceleration or fluctuations.
