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.
Foot/minute
Foot per minute (ft/min) is a unit of speed representing the number of feet traveled in one minute.
History/Origin
The foot per minute has been used historically in engineering and construction to measure speed, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard. Its usage predates the widespread adoption of metric units.
Current Use
Today, ft/min is primarily used in fields such as HVAC, ventilation, and certain engineering applications to measure airflow or movement speed where imperial units are preferred.
