Yes. It is different for different planets etc. Escape velocity on earth is different than escape velocity on Jupiter.

Why all objects travel at the same velocity?

All objects do not necessarily travel at the same velocity. The velocity of an object depends on factors such as its mass, the force acting on it, and any external influences like friction. In a vacuum, objects of different masses would fall at the same rate due to gravity acting uniformly on all objects.


Who discovered that all objectsheavy or lightfall the same velocity?

Galileo Galilei was the first to explain that heavy and light objects would fall the same way in a vacuum. Keep in mind, objects do not fall with 'velocity,' but with 'acceleration.'


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.


The escape velocity from Earth is greater for larger rockets than for small ones?

Escape velocity from Earth depends only on the mass of the Earth and the distance from its center, not the mass or size of the rocket. All rockets need to reach the same escape velocity to leave Earth's gravitational pull, regardless of their size.


How is the name black hole related to escape velocity?

The word "black" aptly describes the inability of light to escape - all light and matter that passes the event horizon can only do so in one direction, falling in. The reason is, the escape velocity inside the event horizon is greater than the speed of light, the event horizon itself being the boundary at which the escape velocity is equal to that speed. Outside that horizon, the escape velocity is less than the speed of light, hence it would be possible for light and objects moving at speeds approaching that of light to escape.


Why do all objects fall to earth at the same time velocity even though the acceleration due to gravity always stays the same?

All objects fall to Earth at the same velocity under gravity because they experience the same acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.8 m/s^2 near the Earth's surface. This means that regardless of their mass, they will accelerate towards the Earth at the same rate, resulting in the same final velocity when they hit the ground.


What is the direction of average acceleration?

Average acceleration points in the same direction as the change in velocity over time. If the velocity is increasing, the average acceleration will be in the same direction as the velocity. If the velocity is decreasing, the average acceleration will be in the opposite direction.


What and Velocity are defined the same for all objects?

Velocity is defined as the rate at which an object changes its position in a particular direction. It is calculated as the displacement of an object divided by the time taken to cover that distance. This definition holds true for all objects, regardless of their size or mass.


Why don't all objects fall to the earth at the same velocity though the acceleration due to gravity always stays the same?

because of the differences in air resistance.


What If you have four balls all traveling at 5 meters per second which one has the most kinetic energy?

All four balls would have the same kinetic energy since kinetic energy is determined by both the mass and velocity of the object. If all four balls have the same mass and velocity, their kinetic energy would be equal.


In freefall do all objects near Earth's surface have the same acceleration?

Without atmospheric drag, all free falling objects near earth's surface will have the same acceleration. But because of friction with the air (air resistance), the velocity of objects due to that acceleration is limited. The actual velocity is dependent on the surface area of the object relative to its mass. The principle of the parachute is to increase the surface area of a falling object with respect to its mass.


Will the objects attract in the space?

According to the classic Theory of Gravity described by Isaac Newton, all objects are attracted to one another at some infantesimal level. In the absence of any other objects, any 2 objects will eventually be drawn together and collide, assuming they are not moving away from each other at escape velocity. Escape velocity is the velocity at which an object will be slowed by the object it is escaping but will never be stopped and drawn back. In short, yes.
