What speed must a space shuttle get to escape earth's orbit?
A spacecraft travelling at approximately 25,000 miles per hour can escape Earth's orbit. This speed is known as the escape velocity and allows the spacecraft to overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth.
What speed does the space shuttle need to attain to escape the earth atmosphere?
The speed needed to escape the Earth's atmosphere is about 25,000 miles per hour, or approximately 40,000 kilometers per hour. This speed is called the escape velocity. Once the space shuttle reaches this speed, it can break free from Earth's gravitational pull and enter into orbit around the Earth or travel beyond it.
Time it takes to get to Jupiter in a space shuttle?
You can't get to Jupiter using the Space Shuttle. The Shuttle is not designed to leave Earth's orbit (it doesn't have the thrust to reach Earth's escape velocity) and in fact flies at quite a low altitude compared to other satellites out there.
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.
Starship A weighs 2 tons and requires a speed of about 11 km s to escape from the Earth The escape velocity from Earth of Starship B that weighs 4 tons is?
The escape velocity of an object only depends on the mass of the planet it is escaping from, not the mass of the object itself. Therefore, Starship B would also require a speed of about 11 km/s to escape from Earth.
How would it take to travel the distance of a light-year in a space shuttle?
Depends on how much thrust you give the shuttle. Assuming the shuttle leaves earth at escape velocity (11.2 km/s) then: 1 ly= 9,460,730,472,580.8 km divide 1 ly by the velocity: 844,708,077,909 seconds or 26767.7555 years
Is the escape velocity from the center of the earth different from the escape velocity from Earth's orbit?
Yes, very much so.
Does escape velocity depend upon height from which it is projected?
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.
How long would it take the current space shuttle to go 10000 light years?
I frankly doubt the actual shuttle design allows it to reach escape velocity enough to leave Earth's gravitational well, leave alone the possibility to escape Solar system.
What is escape velocity of speed?
You mean what is the escape velocity of Earth? If so, the answer is 11,2 km/s
Have any MANNED vehicles reached 'escape velocity' - If so what were they?
Yes, several manned vehicles have reached escape velocity, which is about 25,000 miles per hour. The Apollo spacecraft used during the moon missions reached escape velocity en route to the moon. Also, the Space Shuttle reached escape velocity when it orbited the Earth or traveled to the International Space Station.
Is escape velocity same for all objects?
Yes. It is different for different planets etc. Escape velocity on earth is different than escape velocity on Jupiter.
What is velocity that a rocket must attain to escape the force of gravity on earth?
The velocity of a any object to surpass the gravity of earth commonly known as escape velocity is 11.2Km/s.
What is the excape velocity on earth?
The escape velocity on Earth is approximately 11.2 kilometers per second (33 times the speed of sound). This is the speed required for an object to break free from Earth's gravitational pull and escape into space.
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.
What is the name of velocity a shuttle needs when it returns to the Earth?
very fast
Escape velocity of earth versus escape velocity on Uranus?
EV on Earth is 11.186 km/s EV on Uranus is 21.3 km/s
