About These Units
Centimeter per Second (cm/s)
Centimeters per second (cm/s) measures slow speeds in scientific experiments, fluid dynamics, and biological processes. Used for measuring glacier movement, blood flow velocity, and sediment transport. One cm/s equals 0.036 km/h or 0.0224 mph.
Knot (kn)
A knot (kn or kt) equals one nautical mile per hour, approximately 1.151 mph or 1.852 km/h. Knots are the standard speed unit for ships, aircraft, and wind in maritime and aviation worldwide. Origin: sailors counted knots on a rope trailing behind the ship.
