The speed and direction a rocket must travel to break away from a planet's gravitational pull is called?

To escape the gravitation pull of an object you must travel at or in excess of the escape velocity. The direction of the escape velocity is always radially outward from the center of the object.

There is no one direction as the gravitational force is radially symmetrical.

Could you survive in a rocket going into a black hole?
No. Even your rocket would be crushed and torn apart by gravitational tides.
Why would a rocket have to travel at a faster speed to escape Jupiter's gravitational pull?
Jupiter's gravitational pull is much stronger than that of Earth.
How many planets have disappear?
Shoot a MASSIVE rocket at it and see what happerns
Is thrust on the rocket in the absence of gravitational force of attraction constant?
Thrust on the rocket depends only on the engines. It doesn't matter whether the rocket is sitting on the pad or out somewhere a million miles from nowhere.
What is a device that expels gas in one direction to move in the opposite direction?
A balloon will do that. A rocket does that. The gas is on fire.
Is there gravity in a rocket ship?
If the rockets are active then you will feel a gravitational force pulling you down in the direction opposite the rocket's motion. If they are off however you are weightless and you experience no gravitational force.
Why can a spaceship move away from Earth?
The force the rocket uses is stronger or equal to the rocket's mass, so it can push it in the opposite direction of the Earth's gravitational pull.
Why does a bottle rocket fly?
The aerodynamic structure contributed by the speed, created by the engine allows the rocket to project in a direction, opposite to the gravitational pull. The wing-like structure at the bottom helps the rocket to remain in a parabolic path. Regardless of the weather, a rocket can fly in a steady path. This helps a rocket in flying out of the atmosphere of the earth and gravitational region.
Can you escape a black hole?
By building a machine that travels through space (like a rocket), and fly it against the direction of the Black Hole. For as long as the thrust of your rocket is above the gravitational pull of the Black Hole, you are away.
What is the force that tries to pull the rocket back to earth?
Gravitational Pull.
A rocket receives lift off due to?
A rocket is able to lift off because of something called thrust. This means if you apply force to one direction, it will also apply force to the opposite direction.
Do rocket ships fly into planets?
No
What stops a rocket from leaving the earth?
The Earth's Gravitational field
Does the action force in a rocket engine act on the hot gases or on the rocket?
Both. The rocket is forced in one direction and the hot gasses are forced in the opposite direction.
Does the gravitational force change when a rocket gets closer to the moon?
yes
Could you survive in a rocket going into a black hole?
No. Even your rocket would be crushed and torn apart by gravitational tides.
How does a retro rocket work?
Just like any other rocket. The main difference is that the nozzle(and the direction of thrust) of a retro rocket is aimed in the opposite direction when compared to the main direction of travel. That's where the retro part comes in.
