Escape velocity for the moon is a little over 5000 miles per hour. For the earth it is about 25,000 miles per hour. So the moon requires a fifth of the energy required to escape the earth.

An engine with a speed that can escape earth's gravity?

An engine capable of achieving escape velocity would need to reach speeds of around 25,000 miles per hour to overcome Earth's gravity. This would typically involve using powerful rockets with sufficient thrust to propel a spacecraft beyond Earth's gravitational pull and into space. Once in space, the spacecraft would continue on its trajectory using momentum gained from the engine's initial acceleration.


How much force does it take to break away from earths gravity?

To break away from Earth's gravity and reach space, an object needs to reach an escape velocity of about 11.2 kilometers per second (about 25,000 mph). The force required to achieve this velocity is enormous and depends on the mass of the object. For example, a spacecraft with humans onboard would need powerful rockets to generate enough force to break free from Earth's gravity.


What is the escape velocity from the surface of Mars?

The escape velocity from the surface of Mars is about 5.0 km/s (3.1 miles/s). This means that a spacecraft would need to reach this speed to break free from Mars' gravity and enter into space.


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 fast will a spacecraft have to go to create artificial gravity?

Speed doesn't create artificial gravity. Acceleration does. That means change of speed.That's why you feel heavier when the elevator starts up, and lighter when it starts down.And it's why you feel a force (like gravity) pushing you back into the seat when the car starts forward,and a force (like gravity) pulling you forward out of your seat when the car slows down.As long as the spacecraft (or car) is speeding up, there will be a force (like gravity) pulling backwards.As long as the spacecraft (or car) is slowing down, there will be a force (like gravity) pulling forward.If the spacecraft (or car) goes 32.2 feet per second faster after every second, then the forcewill have the same strength as earth's gravity.

How would the gravity of mars affect the landing of a spacecraft?

Does mars' gravity affect other objects. yes it does but the gravity is 38% of the earths gravity and if doesn't affect objects then it will have no moon.

Why boosters are used in space shuttle?

Well they are used because without them the space shuttle would not be able to have enough force to escape the earths gravity when it was being launched.

How would spinning a spacecraft provide artificial gravity?

Centrifugal force would push the astronauts away from the center of the spacecraft. If the spacecraft was shaped like a ring, the wall furthest away from the center would act as a floor and the wall closest would act as a ceiling.

What is the gravity on the moon lo?

About 0.183g, where one g is the earths gravity, so about one fifth of the earths gravity. It is similar to our own moons surface gravity.
