Mach (20°c, 1 Atm)
Mach is a unit of speed representing the ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound in the surrounding medium, typically at 20°C and 1 atm pressure.
History/Origin
Named after physicist Ernst Mach, the Mach number was developed in the early 20th century to describe speeds relative to the speed of sound, especially in aeronautics and fluid dynamics.
Current Use
Mach is widely used in aeronautics and astronautics to express aircraft and spacecraft speeds, particularly in high-speed flight and supersonic travel contexts.
Cosmic Velocity - Second
Cosmic velocity is the minimum velocity an object must have to escape the gravitational influence of a celestial body without further propulsion.
History/Origin
The concept of cosmic velocity originated in the early 20th century with the development of orbital mechanics and space exploration, initially used to describe escape velocities from planets and the Earth.
Current Use
Cosmic velocity is used in astrophysics and space science to determine escape velocities for spacecraft and celestial bodies, aiding in mission planning and understanding gravitational influences.
