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.


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).


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 is Rocket speed per sec to escape from earth gravity?

the rocket speed required to escape out of the earth's gravity is known as escape velocity which is numerically equal to 11.2 km per sec.


What is the name for the speed a rocket must reach to escape the earth's gravity?

Escape velocity is the speed that a rocket must reach to break free from Earth's gravity and enter space. It is the minimum velocity required for an object to overcome the pull of Earth's gravity.


What is escape velocity of speed?

You mean what is the escape velocity of Earth? If so, the answer is 11,2 km/s


To escape from a planet's an object muct reach a speed called the?

To escape from a planet's gravitational pull, an object must reach a speed called the "escape velocity." This velocity depends on the mass and radius of the planet from which the object is trying to escape.


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 does the escape velocity from a black hole compare with the speed of light?

The escape velocity of a black hole is equal or greater than the speed of light, so light cannot escape


Can an intercontinental ballistic missile reach escape velocity?

Yes. Probes have already be sent to the Moon, and other planets; this requires a velocity very near the escape velocity from Earth. Other probes are leaving the Solar System, so they achieved the much higher escape velocity required to escape the attraction from the Sun.


What is escape volocity?

Escape velocity is the minimum speed that an object must reach to break free from the gravitational pull of a celestial body. This velocity allows the object to overcome the body's gravitational force and enter into space. The specific value of escape velocity depends on the mass and radius of the celestial body.


What height will it gain after the escape velocity becomes half?

That will depend not only on the escape velocity, but also - very importantly - on the object's speed.
