The escape velocity is determined by the gravity of the planet which in turn is determined by the mass and size of the planet
That would be its escape velocity.
Escape velocity is what a moving body has to achieve in order not to be pulled back down to the planet. For Earth it is about 7 miles per second.
The simple answer is that unless the rocket achieves escape velocity, the planet it hits would be Mars. Due to the rotation of the planets, if it did reach escape velocity, it would depend on the position of the planets and the path into space it took.
Escape velocity is the speed you would have to go to escape gravity.
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.
Atmospheric pressure is an important factor in keeping liquid water on the surface of a planet. With no atmosphere, liquid water would quickly escape into space. It would depend on various factors such as the temperature and escape velocity of the planet of course. Scientists think liquid water existed on Mars in the past when the atmosphere was a lot denser. Water does exist on the surface Mars, but only as ice.
Escape the earth's gravitational pull and continue out into space. However, a rocket does not need to be launched at the escape velocity as it can continue to accelerate as it climbs. A gun projectile would need to be fired with the escape velocity. In a perfect system with only the projectile and the Earth: If the projectile is fired with the exact escape velocity it will travel to infinity away from the Earth. Upon reaching infinitely far away from Earth the projectile would have zero velocity. All of its kinetic energy (movement) would be transferred to potential energy.
The speed that ab object must travel at to escape a planet's gravity is called escape velocity. This value varies depending on the mass and diameter of the planet. Here are the escape volcities of the eight planets of our solar system. Mercury: 9,400 mph Venus: 23,000 mph Earth: 25,000 mph Mars: 11,000 mph Jupiter: 133,000 mph Saturn: 77,000 mph Uranus: 48,000 mph Neptune: 53,000 mph Note that escape velocity only takes gravity into account and ignores other forces. An object launched from Earth's surface or from any other planet with a substantial atmosphere at escape velocity would be quickly destroyed and slowed down by air resistance.
Yes, it would. That's one reason why some artificial satellites were tossed into orbit after being carried up aboard the space shuttle. The reason is because escape velocity from Earth depends on Earth's gravity, which in turn depends on the distance from the Earth's center. The higher you go, the farther you are from the center of the planet, the less gravitational force there is between you and the Earth, and the smaller the escape velocity thus becomes.
Nope.
If it is close to Earth, it would need a speed of 11.2 kilometers per second to escape from Earth.
"Escape velocity" is a misnomer; there isn't any such thing. "Escape velocity" is the speed that it would take a projectile to escape completely from the Earth's gravity, IF IT WERE FIRED FROM THE SURFACE FROM A CANNON.The "escape velocity" from Earth is about 7 miles per second, or 25,000 miles per hour. But the Apollo spacecraft that went to the Moon didn't go anywhere near that speed. It didn't have to, because it was propelled by a rocket engine. With a big enough engine and enough fuel, you could "escape" from the Earth at 5 miles per hour, or less. It would be TERRIBLY wasteful of fuel, which is why we don't do it that way.
