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 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 escape velocity of speed?

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


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


What is escape volocity?

Escape velocity is the speed you would have to go to escape gravity.


What is the escape speed from the surface of the earth?

The escape speed from the surface of the earth, or the "escape velocity" from the earth is about 11.2km/s.


Why you must study escape velocity?

You don't. "Escape velocity" is a meaningless number. "Escape velocity" is the speed at which a CANNON SHELL must be fired in order to escape from the Earth's gravity well. With a powered rocket, you can "escape" from the Earth's gravity at ANY speed - as long as you have enough fuel.


How much speed required to go against gravity?

Assuming there is no air resistance, if an object starts at a speed of 11.2 km/sec, it can escape the gravitational field of Earth. This "escape velocity" is different for different planets, moons, etc.Assuming there is no air resistance, if an object starts at a speed of 11.2 km/sec, it can escape the gravitational field of Earth.

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 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.
