With the right ramp and a motorcycle could you reach escape velocity on the Moon?
Stiles86
Your motorcycle would have to reach 5300 MPH to escape the moon's gravity. It's doubtful that a real world motorcycle, even rocket propelled could do this with a human sitting on it.

To escape from a planets gravity an object must reach a speed called the?
Escape Velocity
To escape from a planet's an object muct reach a speed called the?
That would be its escape velocity.
What is the difference between escape velocity and orbital velocity?
Escape velocity is the velocity that an object needs in order to reach infinite distance, wherein the force will equal to zero. Orbital velocity is the velocity of an object so it can stay in orbit.
Is capable of NASA space shuttle reach escape velocity from the Earth?
...No.
The velocity a rocket must reach to establish an orbit around earth is called?
Orbital velocity, or Close orbital velocity.
What does the term 'escape velocity' mean?
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.
What may happen to a rocket which rises from the earth never attains escape velocity?
A rocket that doesn't reach "escape velocity" will be overcome by gravity and will be pulled back down to Earth. Also, rockets which go into orbit have not reached escape velocity. Escape velocity is what is needed to completely leave earth's gravity well.
How do you beat gravity on Earth?
To overcome gravity, you must reach "Escape Velocity" to overcome gravity and escape a planet's orbit.
Why must a spacecraft reach escape velocity to be able to go to space?
A rocket needs to travel at 7 miles-per-second or about 25,000-miles-per-hour to leave the pull of earth's gravitational force, and reach outer space. This speed is known as escape velocity.
Is orbital velocity the velocity a rocket must reach to fly off into space?
No.Orbital Velocity is the velocity required by a body to achieve a circular orbit around its primary.Escape velocity is the minimum velocity needed to escape a gravitational field
What speed does a rocket have to reach to get into space?
(Escape velocity) at least 7 miles ber second. Close-Orbital velocity is about 5 miles per second.
Can an intercontinental ballistic missile reach escape velocity?
Yes. Probes have already be sent to the Moon, and other planets; this requires a velocity very near the escape velocity from Earth. Other probes are leaving the Solar System, so they achieved the much higher escape velocity required to escape the attraction from the Sun.
