About Millimetres per Second
A millimetre per second (mm/s) is 10⁻³ m/s - the speed of slow industrial mechanisms and recognisable biological motion. FDM 3D printers move at 40-120 mm/s for perimeters and 150-300 mm/s for infill. Garden snails travel 0.5-1.5 mm/s; earthworms 3-5 mm/s. CNC finishing operations run 1-several hundred mm/s. Hydraulic precision slides work at mm/s for surface preparation. Ultrasound particle velocities in soft tissue are also in this range. 1 mm/s = 10⁻³ m/s.
About Kilometres per Hour
A kilometre per hour (km/h) = 1/3.6 m/s - the universal road speed unit across most of the world. Walking pace ~5-6 km/h; jogging 9-12 km/h; elite marathon runners average 20-21 km/h. High-speed rail (TGV, Shinkansen, ICE) 250-350 km/h; TGV record 574.8 km/h. Category 5 hurricane ≥252 km/h; Thrust SSC land speed record 1,228 km/h (Mach 1.02). 1 km/h = 0.2778 m/s = 0.6214 mph = 0.5400 kn.
