Foot/minute
The foot per minute (ft/min) is a unit of speed describing how many feet an object moves in one minute. It is commonly used in industrial settings, such as measuring the speed of machines, escalators, or conveyor belts.
Meter/second
The meter per second (m/s) is a unit of speed or velocity in the metric system, representing the distance traveled in meters over one second. It is commonly used in physics and engineering to describe how quickly an object is moving or how fast a process is occurring. This unit is fundamental in scientific contexts, where precise measurements of speed are required.
