For two bodies with equal radius, the more massive has the greater escape velocity. For two bodies with equal mass, the one with smaller radius has the greater escape velocity. Both conditions listed in the question indicate greaterescape velocity.

How are the mass of the body and escape speed related?

The greater the mass of the planet, the greater will be the escape velocity.


An object that has an escape speed greater than that of light is a?

A black hole has an escape velocity of the speed of light, at least theoretically. Oddly, though, each galaxy has a black hole and we can detect them because they throw off massive amounts of energy. If the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light, then no light or energy of any kind should escape. So black holes are not quite the perfect consumers of everything.


How do sattalites get up in to space?

escape velocity of satellite is greater


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 the trajectory of a projectile having velocity greater than escape velocity?

It will eventually straighten out as it escapes gravity.


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.


What is the escape velocity of the Sun in miles per hour?

The escape velocity of our sun is nearly 1.4 million mph(1,381,755.55 mph), about 55 times greater than Earth's.


Can light escape black holes?

No. The escape velocity of a black hole is greater than the speed of light.


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.


Is escape velocity of light infinity?

Not at all. It would take an infinitely large mass to produce an infinite escape velocity, and no such infinite mass exists. Furthermore, the escape velocity for any object is the same no matter what is trying to escape, so light does not have its own escape velocity. This question presumably concerns black holes. Light does not escape from black holes because the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light. The speed of light is not infinite, it is 300,000 kilometers per second.


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.


When did Escape Velocity Override happen?

Escape Velocity Override happened in 1998.
