What will happen if a satellite has velocity which is more than orbital vellocity but less than escape velocity?
If a satellite somehow acquires too much velocity for the orbit it's in, it moves to an orbit for which that velocity is just right. That's how artificial satellites are placed into the desired orbit ... engines are fired to give them the velocity that's correct for the desired orbit, and that's where they go.
The escape velocity from Earth is greater for larger rockets than for small ones?
False
Is the escape velocity higher for the earth or the moon?
The mass of an object is the same wherever it may be. The weight of an object changes however. The weight of an object is the product of its mass times gravity. Gravity is greater on earth than it is on the moon, so an object will weigh more on earth.
How can rockets escape from gravity?
Escape velocity is defined to be the minimum velocity an object must have in order to escape the gravitational field of the earth, that is, escape the earth without ever falling back. From the surface of the Earth, escape velocity (ignoring air friction) is about 7 miles per second, (11.2 km/sec) or about 25,000 miles per hour. Given that initial speed, an object needs no additional force applied to completely escape Earth's gravity. More can be seen about this in the related link below.
How much thrust is needed to escape earths gravity if something weighs 1520 pounds?
The general idea is that the escape velocity from Earth is 11.2 km/second. This assumes there is no atmosphere. I guess "thrust" would be expressed in units of force; the force can be just about anything, from just slightly bit more than the object's weight (to counter Earth's gravity), to a lot more, depending how long the force is applied. In other words, if you apply more force, you need to apply the force for less time to achieve escape velocity.
You say that the escape velocity is the one required to escape the earth's gravitational speed then we say the satellites stay in orbits because of the earth's gravitational speed how does that ha?
Satellites are traveling at less than escape velocity. (roughly, orbital velocity is about 7 tenths of escape).
What is the difference between a satellite and a probe with regard to orbital velocity and escape velocity?
Well, a satellite revolves about 80 times faster than the probe. The probe masters different situations which cause orbital problems. Escape velocity doesn't have the power that regards to the probe. Scientists assume that the satellite has the power, but others don't. The probe connects to orbital velocity and has the power to control it.
Is escape velocity same for all objects?
Yes. It is different for different planets etc. Escape velocity on earth is different than escape velocity on Jupiter.

There is no atmosphere on the moon. Explain on the basis of escape velocity?
the escape velocity of moon is less than that of earth...so the gas easily escape out and hence moon has no atmosphere..
Will the moons beyond the orbit of callisto have larger or smaller periods than callisto?
If the further moons have the same velocity as Callisto, they will have longer orbital periods. However, if their velocity is greater, they may have shorter orbital periods.
How does the escape velocity from a black hole compare with the speed of light?
The escape velocity of a black hole is equal or greater than the speed of light, so light cannot escape
Can a rocket traveling at orbital velocity reach the moon?
Yes, but it has to be travelling at the MOON'S orbital velocity, which is quite a bit more than that needed for low earth or even geosynchronous orbit. The faster one goes, the higher the orbit.
Is escape velocity of light infinity?
Not at all. It would take an infinitely large mass to produce an infinite escape velocity, and no such infinite mass exists. Furthermore, the escape velocity for any object is the same no matter what is trying to escape, so light does not have its own escape velocity. This question presumably concerns black holes. Light does not escape from black holes because the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light. The speed of light is not infinite, it is 300,000 kilometers per second.
What is the trajectory of a projectile having velocity greater than escape velocity?
It will eventually straighten out as it escapes gravity.
Which planet has Similar tilt axis of ration angle than earth?
which planet has the slowest orbital velocity
Uranus has a bigger or less speed than Jupiter?
Uranus has a lower orbital speed than Jupiter.
