Escape velocity is independent of an objects mass, therefore the escape velocity of the two starhips are identical.

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.

How does momentum work?

Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. Momentum= Mass x Velocity. When the object weighs 20kg and is traveling at 20m/s North it will have a momentum of 400kgm/s North.


Why would a train have more inertia than a car if they both had the same velocity they both they both?

While they may both have the same speed, the train WEIGHS thousands of times what the car weighs.


Can a car and a truck have the same momentum?

yes, the car would have to be traveling at a faster velocity though, assuming that the car weighs less

Which is more powerful ak47 or a desert eagle 50?

you answer yourself with these numbers: AK-47's bullet weighs 125 grains and has a velocity of 720 m/s. Desert Eagle's bullet weighs 325 grains BUT has a velocity of 400 m/s. (Desert eagle has more power in close range, AK-47 will have more power in long range and has better penetration power)


How much thrust is needed to escape earths gravity if something weighs 1520?

Any force larger than the weight is sufficient, if it is applied long enough.


What is angular momentum?

Angular momentum is an expression of an objects mass and rotational speed. Momentem is the velocity of an object times its mass, or how fast something is moving times how much it weighs. Therefore angular momentum is the objects mass times the angular velocity where angular velocity is how fast something is rotating expressed in terms like revolutions per minute or radians per second or degrees per second.
