Yard/second to Cosmic Velocity - First Conversion Table
| yard/second | Cosmic velocity - first |

Yard/second
Yard per second (yd/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one yard traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The yard has been used as a unit of length since the 12th century, primarily in the UK and the US. The yard/second as a speed unit emerged with the adoption of the yard in measurement systems, but it is less common than other units like meters per second.
Current Use
Yard per second is occasionally used in fields such as aviation, sports, and engineering within the United States and the UK for measuring speeds where imperial units are preferred.
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.
