About these units
Cosmic Velocity - Second (v₂)
The second cosmic velocity is the escape velocity, the speed required to completely overcome a planet's gravitational attraction without further propulsion. For Earth, this speed is about 11.2 km/s. It is higher than v₁ because escaping gravity requires exceeding orbital balance entirely, not merely achieving stable free fall. Escape velocity underlies missions to the Moon, other planets, and deep space probes. Reaching v₂ allows spacecraft to travel along trajectories that leave Earth's gravitational well permanently unless acted on by external forces. This value symbolizes humanity's ability to break free from its home world—a critical milestone in exploration.
Yard/Second (yd/s)
A yard per second is a moderately fast speed, equal to 3 ft/s or 0.9144 m/s, used in some athletic contexts—particularly American football or sprinting analysis. It provides an intuitive measure for sports where yard-based distances dominate. Because the unit aligns with common field dimensions, it simplifies performance evaluation in training and gameplay. The yard per second reflects the enduring influence of imperial measurements in American athletics.
