What is the escape velocity of Mars?

The escape velocity on the planet Saturn is 35.5 kilometre per second. That is, a body has to be projected with a velocity of 35.5 kilometre per second so that it can escape from the gravitational pull of the planet. (Escape velocity on the earth is about 11.2 kilometre per second.)


What is the escape velocity from the moon for a lunar landing module sitting on the Moon's surface?

The lunar escape velocity, regardless of what object is trying to escape, is about 2.38 km/s, or about 1.5 mi/s. (This is about 5324 mph, compared to about 25,000 mph on Earth.)


The ratio of the radius of that of the moon is 10 .The ratio of g on the earth and on the moon is 6 then what is the ratio of the escape velocity from earth's surface to that from the moon's surface?

The escape velocity is given by √2gR Hence it's value Ve on the earth and Vm on the moon is Ve = √2ge.Re Vm = √2gm.Rm Therefore , their ratio = Ve/Vm = √ge.Re/√gm.Rm = √6 x 10 = √60 = 8 nearly


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 fast must an object go to leave a planets gravity?

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.

Is the escape velocity of hydrogen at mars more than it's gravity or in other words can hydrogen in gaseous state exist on the planet mars?

Hydrogen probably cannot exist for a long time on Mars. As you suggest this is because of the planet's fairly low gravity and escape velocity. It's easier for a very light atom or molecule, such as hydrogen, to reach the planet's escape velocity, caused by collisions in the atmosphere.


What is the escape velocity on the surface of venus?

10.36 km/s


If stand on equator of Mars and fire a rocket from there which planet shall the rocket hit the quickest?

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.


Is the escape velocity higher for the earth or the moon?

The mass of an object is the same wherever it may be. The weight of an object changes however. The weight of an object is the product of its mass times gravity. Gravity is greater on earth than it is on the moon, so an object will weigh more on earth.
