What is the difference between escape velocity and orbital velocity?

Escape velocity is the velocity that an object needs in order to reach infinite distance, wherein the force will equal to zero. Orbital velocity is the velocity of an object so it can stay in orbit.


What will happen if a satellite has velocity which is more than orbital vellocity but less than escape velocity?

If a satellite somehow acquires too much velocity for the orbit it's in, it moves to an orbit for which that velocity is just right. That's how artificial satellites are placed into the desired orbit ... engines are fired to give them the velocity that's correct for the desired orbit, and that's where they go.


What planet has the greatest escape velocity and why?

Jupiter has the greatest escape velocity in our solar system, due to its large mass and strong gravitational pull. The escape velocity on Jupiter is about 59.5 km/s, which is higher than any other planet in our solar system.


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.


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.

Is orbital velocity the velocity a rocket must reach to fly off into space?

No.Orbital Velocity is the velocity required by a body to achieve a circular orbit around its primary.Escape velocity is the minimum velocity needed to escape a gravitational field


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 difference between a satellite and a probe with regard to orbital velocity and escape velocity?

Well, a satellite revolves about 80 times faster than the probe. The probe masters different situations which cause orbital problems. Escape velocity doesn't have the power that regards to the probe. Scientists assume that the satellite has the power, but others don't. The probe connects to orbital velocity and has the power to control it.

Is escape velocity same for all objects?

Yes. It is different for different planets etc. Escape velocity on earth is different than escape velocity on Jupiter.

There is no atmosphere on the moon. Explain on the basis of escape velocity?

The moon's escape velocity is lower than the average velocity of gas particles in its atmosphere, so the moon cannot retain an atmosphere as the gas particles would escape into space. This is why the moon has no significant atmosphere.


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


Uranus has a bigger or less speed than Jupiter?

Uranus has a lower orbital speed than Jupiter.


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

It will eventually straighten out as it escapes gravity.


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.
