Why is the escape speed for a spacecraft independent of the spacecraft's mass?

Physics

scoray [572]4 years ago

In order to escape the gravitational pull of our planet, any object must have an escape velocity of 7 km/s  or more, anything lower than that will be slowed down by the pull of gravity, and will eventually returned to the surface of our planet. It is independent of mass, any lighter or heavier object must attain the required escaped velocity to reach space.

How are a wave's energy and the wave's amplitude related?
dem82 [27]
Answer:
Energy is proportional to the square of the amplitude

Explanation:
The energy of a certain wave is defined using its magnitude.
The two quantities are related directly. This means that as the amplitude of the wave increases, its energy increases and vice versa.

Energy is directly proportional to the square of the magnitude of the wave. This means that:
If we have new amplitude = 2 * old amplitude
We will have new energy = (2)² * old energy = 4 * old energy

Hope this helps :)
