Cosmic Velocity - First
Cosmic velocity - first, also known as Earth's escape velocity, is the minimum speed needed for an object to escape Earth's gravitational influence without further propulsion.
History/Origin
The concept of escape velocity was developed in the early 20th century as part of classical mechanics and gravitational theory, with initial calculations by Sir Isaac Newton and later refinements through modern physics.
Current Use
It is used in aerospace engineering and astrophysics to determine the minimum speed required for spacecraft to leave Earth's orbit and travel into space without additional propulsion.
Yard/minute
Yard per minute (yd/min) is a unit of speed representing the number of yards traveled in one minute.
History/Origin
The yard has been a traditional unit of length in the imperial system, and the yard per minute has historically been used to measure slow speeds, especially in contexts like machinery or manufacturing. Its usage has declined with the adoption of metric units.
Current Use
Today, yard per minute is rarely used in modern applications but may still be encountered in specific industries or legacy systems where imperial units are retained for measurement of speed or rate.
