Cosmic Velocity - Third
The third cosmic velocity is the minimum speed an object must reach to escape the gravitational pull of the Earth without further propulsion, approximately 11.2 km/s.
History/Origin
The concept of cosmic velocities was developed in the early 20th century to describe the different escape velocities from celestial bodies. The third cosmic velocity specifically relates to Earth's escape velocity, becoming prominent with advancements in astronautics and space exploration.
Current Use
The third cosmic velocity is used in space mission planning to determine the required speed for spacecraft to leave Earth's gravitational influence and reach interplanetary or interstellar space.
Centimeter/hour
Centimeter per hour (cm/h) is a unit of speed that measures the distance in centimeters traveled or covered in one hour.
History/Origin
The centimeter per hour has been used primarily in scientific and industrial contexts to measure slow rates of movement or growth, especially in fields like biology and material science. Its usage became more standardized with the adoption of the metric system in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, cm/h is used in applications such as measuring the rate of biological growth, sedimentation, or the movement of fluids and materials in scientific research and engineering.
