Example: convert 15 mi/h to None:
15 mi/h = 15 × 3.99142857142857e-05 None = 0.000598714285714286 None
Mile/hour to Cosmic Velocity - Second Conversion Table
| mile/hour | Cosmic velocity - second |

Mile/hour
Mile per hour (mi/h) is a unit of speed representing the number of miles traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The mile per hour has been used primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom for measuring speed, especially in transportation, since the adoption of the imperial system. Its usage dates back to the widespread use of miles as a distance measure before metric standardization.
Current Use
Today, mi/h is commonly used in the United States and some other countries to express vehicle speeds, speed limits, and other transportation-related velocities. It remains a standard unit in contexts where the imperial system is prevalent.
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.
