when the rockets push they create a certain amount of thrust which is need to get the rocket off the ground. As the rocket gets higher the air friction becomes less so the rocket travels faster , most of the force is needed to get away from Earth. To completely escape the earth's gravitational pull the crew must reach a distance of at least 400 km away, that is why the iss (international space station) is at an average distance of 250 km from the earth constantly. The pull is strong enough to keep them at a distance, but not strong enough to pull them back to the ground.

Ignoring air resistance what is the minimum initial speed a projectile must have at the Earths surface if the projectile is to escape the Earths gravitational pull?

The minimum initial speed for a projectile to escape Earth's gravitational pull (escape velocity) is about 11.2 km/s. This speed is independent of the mass of the projectile and is based on the balance between the projectile's kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy. Any speed greater than the escape velocity will allow the projectile to escape Earth's gravitational pull.


Can you hit a baseball to the moon?

No, you would not be able to hit it hard enough to escape the Earths gravitational pull.


Is it faster to exit or enter the earth's atmosphere?

its faster to enter Earths atmosphere because our gravitational pull pulls anything in , and this is why rockets have to have a lot of power to go out of the atmosphere because the gravitational pull keeps us on its surface.


What is the gravitational pull?

Less than one tenth (1/10) of the earths gravitational pull.


What speed do rockets break earths gravitational pull?

Enough to support their own weight, plus a little more for motion. It is possible, in theory, to imagine a rocket moving away from the Earth at a slow walking pace. In real life you don't do that, you get away from Earth's pull as quickly as you can manage to do so.

The escape velocity from Earth is greater for larger rockets than for small ones?

Escape velocity from Earth depends only on the mass of the Earth and the distance from its center, not the mass or size of the rocket. All rockets need to reach the same escape velocity to leave Earth's gravitational pull, regardless of their size.


What is stronger than earths gravity?

The gravity of a black hole is stronger than Earth's gravity. Black holes have such a strong gravitational pull that not even light can escape from them.


How does Earth has gravity?

the earths gravitational pull keeps the moon in orbit


How do rockets escape the earth?

Rockets escape Earth's gravitational pull by achieving enough velocity to overcome gravity. They generate thrust by burning fuel, propelling them upward until they reach a speed of around 11 km/s (25,000 mph) - the minimum speed needed to break free from Earth's gravity and reach space.
