Orbital energy is that amount of energy to keep a spacecraft or satellite in orbit around the earth. If the object fails to maintain this amount of energy, its orbit will get smaller and smaller until the object falls to earth. Escape velocity is that amount of speed required for an object to escape the earth's gravitational hold. Notice how you can't jump into outer space. It's because your legs can't produce enough power to achieve escape velocity.
What else can I help you with?
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
The velocity a rocket must reach to establish an orbit around earth is called?
The velocity a rocket must reach to establish an orbit around the Earth is called orbital velocity. It is the speed required for an object to overcome gravitational pull and maintain a stable orbit around the planet. The orbital velocity depends on the altitude of the orbit and follows Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
What would be the effect on the orbital velocity of satellite if mass of satellite is double?
Doubling the mass of a satellite would result in no change in its orbital velocity. This is because the orbital velocity of a satellite only depends on the mass of the planet it is orbiting and the radius of its orbit, but not on the satellite's own mass.
There is no atmosphere on the moon. Explain on the basis of escape velocity?
The moon's escape velocity is lower than the average velocity of gas particles in its atmosphere, so the moon cannot retain an atmosphere as the gas particles would escape into space. This is why the moon has no significant atmosphere.
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.
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 escape velocity bigger than orbital velocity?
Yes, escape velocity is greater than orbital velocity. Escape velocity is the minimum speed required for an object to break free from the gravitational pull of a celestial body and move into space. Orbital velocity is the speed required for an object to maintain a stable orbit around a celestial body.

What is the difference between a satellite and a probe with regard to orbital velocity and escape velocity?
Well, a satellite revolves about 80 times faster than the probe. The probe masters different situations which cause orbital problems. Escape velocity doesn't have the power that regards to the probe. Scientists assume that the satellite has the power, but others don't. The probe connects to orbital velocity and has the power to control it.
You say that the escape velocity is the one required to escape the earth's gravitational speed then we say the satellites stay in orbits because of the earth's gravitational speed how does that ha?
Satellites are traveling at less than escape velocity. (roughly, orbital velocity is about 7 tenths of escape).
Difference between probes and satellites regarding orbital and escape velocity?
Probes are unmanned spacecraft that can be sent to explore celestial bodies within our solar system, typically requiring lower orbital and escape velocities compared to satellites. Satellites are objects that orbit a planet or celestial body, including artificial satellites launched into orbit around Earth. Satellites often require higher orbital and escape velocities due to their continuous or prolonged presence in orbit.
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.
How is the escape velocity equation derived?
The escape velocity equation is derived by setting the kinetic energy of an object equal to the gravitational potential energy at the surface of a planet. By equating these two energies, we can solve for the velocity needed for an object to escape the planet's gravitational pull. The equation is derived using principles of energy conservation and Newton's laws of motion.
There is no atmosphere on the moon. Explain on the basis of escape velocity?
The moon's escape velocity is lower than the average velocity of gas particles in its atmosphere, so the moon cannot retain an atmosphere as the gas particles would escape into space. This is why the moon has no significant atmosphere.
What will happen if a satellite has velocity which is more than orbital vellocity but less than escape velocity?
If a satellite somehow acquires too much velocity for the orbit it's in, it moves to an orbit for which that velocity is just right. That's how artificial satellites are placed into the desired orbit ... engines are fired to give them the velocity that's correct for the desired orbit, and that's where they go.
