Gravity does not exactly have a speed, but it does cause an acceleration (on Earth) of 9.8 meters per second per second. It is also believed that gravity propagates through space at the speed of light (which is 300,000 kilometers per second).

How fast do you have to go for gravity not to take hold of you?

Speed does not matter- gravity will still have a pull.


How does gravity affect speed?

It is gravity that creates the force that causes an object to fall. We know that gravity is a function of mass, and the mass of the objects being considered will have an effect on how fast they fall. Additionally, the shape of the object will have something to do with how fast it falls. A flat piece of cardboard will not fall as fast as a glass ball of the same mass.


Could a Gyroscope spinning fast enough counter act gravity?

No, a gyroscope spinning fast enough cannot counteract gravity. Gravity will always exert a force on an object regardless of its speed. The gyroscope may provide stability or resistance to external forces, but it cannot cancel out the effect of gravity.


How is speed affected by gravity?

Gravity acts as a barrier and slows it down. However, if you say, jump of a building. When you fall gravity will speed you up and you'll be dead fast. When you fall your speed is about 78mph. But that depends on the height of the building and wind direction.


What is the speed of the earth to escape the sun's gravity?

The escape velocity from the Sun at the Earth's distance is about 42.1 km/s. This means that for an object to escape the Sun's gravity at this distance, it would need to travel at that speed. The Earth's orbital speed around the Sun is about 30 km/s, so it is not moving fast enough to escape the Sun's gravity.


What effects the speed of a object?

Speed is relative to the speed of light and gravity. So gravity could effect speed.


How fast does something need to be to escape the gravity of a black hole?

In order to escape the gravity of a black hole, an object would have to travel faster than the speed of light - something that is impossible.


How fast do gravity waves move in space?

Gravitational waves move at the speed of light in space, which is about 186,282 miles per second.


What is the speed maintained by a rocket if it is launced in outer space so it will escape the earth's gravity?

According to most sources, the minimum speed needed to escape the Earth's gravity is 11.2km/s, so a rocket would need to travel at least this fast to get into outer space.


How are gravity and speed related?

Gravity and speed are related in the context of how gravity affects the speed of an object. As an object falls towards the Earth, it accelerates due to gravity, increasing in speed as it falls. The speed of an object falling due to gravity depends on factors such as the object's mass and the strength of the gravitational force acting on it.


Why does a space shuttle have to travel so fast?

Space shuttles must travel at 11km/s so that they can escape the force of gravity. the force of gravity is approximately 9.81. If you don't travel at a greater speed than the force of gravity, the rocket will not launch.


Why must satellites in Leo travel very fast?

Satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) must travel fast to continue orbiting the Earth without falling back down due to gravity. The high speed helps to balance the force of gravity to keep the satellite in orbit. Additionally, the fast speed allows the satellite to complete its orbit around the Earth in a relatively short amount of time.
