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.
Meter/minute
Meter per minute (m/min) is a unit of speed representing the distance in meters traveled in one minute.
History/Origin
The meter per minute has been used historically in various fields such as manufacturing and transportation to measure speed, especially before the widespread adoption of SI units. It is a derived unit based on the meter, the SI base unit of length, and the minute, a unit of time.
Current Use
Today, m/min is primarily used in specific industrial and engineering contexts to measure linear speed, particularly where minute-level precision is sufficient, although the SI unit meters per second (m/s) is more common in scientific applications.
