The velocity with which a projectile must be fired so that it escapes Earth's gravitational does not depend on ...........

Calculate the minimum velocity required by spacecraft to escape the earth's gravitational forces.

For a projectile, projected at an angle, the resultant velocity is :

A satellite orbits the earth at a height of 400 km above the surface. How much energy must be expended to rocket the satellite out of the earth’s gravitational influence? Mass of the satellite = 200 kg, mass of the earth = 6.0 ×x 10^(24) kg, radius of the earth = 6.4 xx 10^(6) m , G = 6.67 xx 10^(-11) N m^(2)) kg^(-2) .

If the velocity of projectile is 20ms^(-1) at what angle to the horizontal should be projected as that it covers maximum horizontal distance of 10m

Assertion : Propulsion of rocket is based on escape velocity . Reason : Velocity which is sufficient to esacpe from Earth's gravitational pull is called escape velocity .

The velocity which is sufficient to just escape from the gravitational pull of the earth is

Is the given statement is TRUE or FALSE: If a spacecraft has to be sent away from the influence of Earth 's gravitational field , its velocity must be less than the escape velocity.

The range of a projectile is R when the angle of projection is 30^@ . For the same velocity of projection and range the other possible angle of projection is:
