Millimeter per Square Second

mm/s²

Definition

The millimeter per square second (mm/s²) is a unit of acceleration, representing the rate of change of velocity per unit time in millimeters. It is equal to one-thousandth of a meter per square second.

History/Origin

Derived from the millimeter, a metric unit of length equal to one-thousandth of a meter, and the second. It is used for measuring very small accelerations in precision scientific applications.

Current Use

Used in precision measurements, micro-mechanical systems, and scientific research where very small accelerations need to be measured with high accuracy.
