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.
Millimeter/second
Millimeter per second (mm/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one millimeter traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The millimeter per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure small-scale velocities, especially in fields like fluid dynamics and material science, as a standard unit derived from the metric system.
Current Use
Today, mm/s is commonly used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications to quantify low velocities, such as in microfluidics, biomechanics, and precision manufacturing.
