An object must reach a velocity of about 25,000 miles per hour (40,000 kilometers per hour) to escape Earth's gravitational pull and enter into orbit around the sun. This speed is known as Earth's escape velocity.

How fast does a space shuttle travel in 500 seconds?

To escape the Earths gravity the shuttle goes 17,500 miles an hour. You can use that value to figure out how far it goes in 500 seconds.


How does gravity affect an object in motion?

it pulls the object towards the earth which kind of slows it down i guess. or is that friction? For an object travelling in the Earths atmosphere, or near to the Earth above the atmosphere, gravity provides a force pulling the object towards the centre of the Earth. Unless the object is travelling fast enough, what is called the escape velocity, this gravity force will ultimately cause the object to fall back to the surface. Friction is something else, the friction with the air in the atmosphere also slows the object, but this force acts in opposition to the direction of motion, not towards the Earths centre. To compute the trajectory of the object you need to take both forces into account.


How long does it take to escape gravity in a rocket?

It isn't clear what exactly you mean with "escape gravity". The effects of Earth's gravity (for example) extend all the way to infinity, while getting weaker and weaker at a greater distance. So in a way, an object moving away from Earth never "escapes gravity". If an object moves fast enough - about 11.2 km/second near Earth's surface - it is said to have reached "escape velocity", in this case, it is fast enough never to come back. A rocket will reach escape velocity in a few minutes.

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.
