Mile/minute
A unit of speed representing the number of miles traveled per minute.
History/Origin
The mile per minute has been used historically in contexts such as aviation and transportation to measure rapid speeds before the widespread adoption of metric units and modern speed measurements like miles per hour or meters per second.
Current Use
Currently, mile per minute is rarely used in everyday contexts but may appear in specialized fields such as aviation, military, or scientific calculations where high-speed measurements are relevant.
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.
