What does 'centimeter per minute' measure?

It measures linear speed indicating how many centimeters are traveled each minute, often used for slow motion or precise feed rates.

What is cosmic velocity - second?

It is the escape velocity needed for an object to leave a celestial body's gravity without further propulsion, crucial in space mission planning.

Why convert cm/min to cosmic velocity - second?

To translate slow terrestrial speeds into the scale of orbital escape velocities, facilitating comparisons relevant in aerospace engineering.
