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

Physics

scoray [572]3 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.

On a calm day with no wind, you can run a 1500-m race at a velocity of 4.0 m/s. If you run the same race on a day when you have
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The time taken to finish the race is 750 s.

Explanation:

The velocity of the person on the day of wind is slowed down by 2.0 m/s. So the person's velocity on the day of wind is 4-2=2 m/s.

The relation between time, speed and distance is t=v/d

Given d=1500 m and calculated v= 2 m/s.

t=1500/2

t=750 s.

Whats the difference between speed and velocity of an object
ss7ja [257]
The difference between speed and velocity is that the speed is a scalar quantity which means that you can say that this object has a speed of x m/s but you don't have to define its direction
while the velocity is a vector quantity which means that you have to express the velocity by which it moves in x,y and z directions and its norm is the speed
