The Earth's escape speed (the speed you need to get away forever) is about 40,000 kilometers per hour. Escape speed depends on t

he gravity of the object trying to hold the spacecraft from escaping. Based on your understanding of gravity, how will the escape speed from the Moon compare to the escape speed from Earth

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.

  • What is escape speed:

The minimum speed that is required for an object to free itself from the gravitational force exerted by a massive object.

The formula of escape speed is

  • v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

where

v is escape velocity

G is universal gravitational constant

M is mass of the body to be escaped from

r is distance from the center of the mass

we can say that,

Escape speed depends on the gravity of the object trying to hold the spacecraft from escaping.

we know that,

The Moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second.

since, v ∝ g

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.

ale4655 [162]
<span>An object is acted upon by a force of 22 newtons to the right and a force of 13 newtons to the left.

(1)  22 N to the right
(2) 13 N to the left.

magnitude = 22 - 13
magnitude = 9

Direction would be to the right.

So magnitude is 9N direction to the right.</span>

A hockey player uses her hockey stick to exert a force of 6.81 N on a stationary hockey puck. The hockey puck has a mass of 165
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

41.3 m/s^2 option (e)

Explanation:

force, F = 6.81 N

mass, m = 165 g = 0.165 kg

Let a be the acceleration of the puck.

Use newtons' second law

Force = mass x acceleration

6.81 = 0.165 x a

a = 41.27 m/s^2

a = 41.3 m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration of the puck is 41.3 m/s^2.
