What is the speed of the earth to escape the sun's gravity?

The escape velocity from the Sun at the Earth's distance is about 42.1 km/s. This means that for an object to escape the Sun's gravity at this distance, it would need to travel at that speed. The Earth's orbital speed around the Sun is about 30 km/s, so it is not moving fast enough to escape the Sun's gravity.


How using Earth's rotation speed to escape gravity?

Earth's rotation speed doesn't affect the ability to escape Earth's gravity. Escaping Earth's gravity requires reaching a velocity of about 11.2 km/s regardless of Earth's rotation speed. Earth's rotation does provide a slight boost to the velocity required to escape in the direction of the rotation.


How long does it take a rocket at average speed to escape earths atmosphere?

It takes around 8 minutes for a rocket to reach space and escape Earth's atmosphere. This can vary slightly depending on the specific rocket and its speed.


Why speed to exit atmosphere?

The earth's escape velocity, which is the speed necessary to overcome gravity and achieve either orbit or escape, is about 25,000 miles per hour (or about 7 miles per second). From a physics standpoint, it's the speed at which a rocket's kinetic energy plus its gravitational potential energy is zero. Every celestial body has a different escape velocity, depending upon its mass.


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.

What two things affect escape speed?

The two main factors that affect escape speed are the mass of the object and the gravitational force pulling it. A larger mass or a stronger gravitational force will result in a higher escape speed required to break free from the object's gravitational pull.


What is the stall speed of a 777?

The stall speed of an aircraft depends on its altitude, weight, configuration, and lateral and vertical acceleration. The stall speed for a 777 is dependent on these real-time factors.


What is dependent factors?

Space and food sources are density-dependent factors.


How the speed of the particles that are able to escape from the surface of the drop?

The speed of particles that escape from the surface of a drop depends on the kinetic energy of the particles which is influenced by factors such as temperature and intermolecular forces. Higher temperatures and weaker intermolecular forces can increase the speed of particles escaping from the drop's surface.


Which is the dependent variable between average speed versus time?

Dependent variable is usually speed.


What is the Wave speed of an internal wave dependent upon?

It is dependent on the speed and the time that it has to travel. This can be shown as an inverse relationship with the formula speed=distance/time.


Is the speed of sound dependent on frequency?

No, the speed of sound is not dependent on frequency. It is determined by the medium through which the sound waves travel.


What are dependent factors?

Factors that depend on other factors. For instance, the grass is a dependent factor because it depends on the rain and sun to make it grow. The grass has no way of growing with out water or light....so it is dependent.


Examples of dependent variable?

Is the speed dependent on the amplitude?

What 2 factors speed up evaporation?

Two factors that speed up evaporation are an increase in temperature, which provides more energy for water molecules to escape into the air, and a higher surface area exposed to the air, which allows for more water molecules to evaporate at the same time.


What are the density-dependent?

Mass and volume are density dependent factors food supply
