Convert meter/minute to centimeter/second
Please provide values below to convert meter/minute [m/min] to centimeter/second [cm/s], or Convert centimeter/second to meter/minute.
1 m/min = 1.66666667 cm/s. To convert meter/minute to centimeter/second, multiply the value by 1.66666667; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cm/s = 0.5999999988 m/min). Both units measure speed and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 m/min = 1.66666667 cm/s
- 1 cm/s = 0.5999999988 m/min
- 10 m/min = 16.6666667 cm/s
- 100 m/min = 166.666667 cm/s
How to Convert Meter/minute to Centimeter/second
1 m/min = 1.66666667 cm/s
Example: convert 15 m/min to cm/s:
15 m/min = 15 × 1.66666667 cm/s = 25.00000005 cm/s

Meter/minute
Meter per minute (m/min) is a unit of speed representing the distance in meters traveled in one minute.
History/Origin
The meter per minute has been used historically in various fields such as manufacturing and transportation to measure speed, especially before the widespread adoption of SI units. It is a derived unit based on the meter, the SI base unit of length, and the minute, a unit of time.
Current Use
Today, m/min is primarily used in specific industrial and engineering contexts to measure linear speed, particularly where minute-level precision is sufficient, although the SI unit meters per second (m/s) is more common in scientific applications.
Centimeter/second
A unit of speed representing the distance of one centimeter traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The centimeter per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts where metric units are standard, especially before the widespread adoption of SI units. It is a derived unit based on the centimeter and second, both of which have historical roots in the metric system developed in France during the late 18th century.
Current Use
The centimeter per second is primarily used in scientific research, fluid dynamics, and engineering applications where small-scale speed measurements are required. It is also used in certain fields like biology and physics for precise velocity measurements.
