Why is velocity most important in space launch?

Escape velocity is the velocity an object needs to escape the gravitational influence of a body if it is in free fall, i.e. no force other than gravity acts on it. Your rocket is not in free fall since it is using its thruster to maintain a constant velocity so the notion of "escape velocity" does not apply to it.

An astronaut in his space suit and with a propulsion unit (empty of its gas propellant) strapped to his back has a mass of 146 k

ivann1987 [24]

Answer: 9.5%

Explanation:

% deplected= Meject ÷ (Meject+Mleft) ×100%

Mleft=(165 - 146)kg = 19kg

% depleted = 2.0/(2.0 + 19) ×100=9.5%

What the differences between static and kinetic friction?

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Static friction prevents a stationary object from moving while kinetic or dynamic friction slows down a moving object.

Explanation:

Static Friction is the maximum force that must be overcome before a stationary object begins to move, while kinetic or dynamic friction is the maximum force that must be overcome for an object in motion to continue moving at a uniform velocity.

Static friction keeps a stationary object at rest, once the Force of Static friction is overcome, the Force of Kinetic friction is what slows down the moving object.
