Determine the escape velocity of a body from the moon. Take the moon to be a uniform sphere of radius `1.74 xx 10^(6) m`, and the mass `7.36 xx 10^(22) kg ` ? `( G = 6.67 xx 10^(-11) Nm^(2) kg^(-2))`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the escape velocity of a body from the moon, we can use the formula for escape velocity, which is given by: \[ v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} \] where: - \( v_e \) is the escape velocity, ...
