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.
Kilometer/hour
Kilometer per hour (km/h) is a unit of speed expressing the number of kilometers traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The km/h unit originated from the metric system, developed in France during the late 18th century, and became widely adopted for measuring speed in transportation and scientific contexts.
Current Use
Km/h is commonly used worldwide to specify vehicle speeds, speed limits, and other applications involving the measurement of speed in everyday life and transportation systems.
