Calculate the escape velocity of the moon . Given accelaration due to gravity on the moon =1.62 m/s^2 and radius of the moon =1.738*10^6 m
Added by Godha R.
Step 1
Step 1: The formula to calculate the escape velocity (ve) is given by ve = sqrt(2 * G * M / R), where G is the acceleration due to gravity, M is the mass of the celestial body, and R is the radius of the celestial body. Show more…

Given the mass of the moon Mm=7.35*10^22 kg and the radius of the moon Rm=1.7*10^6 m. Estimate the escape velocity for the moon.
Vipin K.
The radius of the moon is roughly 1080 miles. The acceleration of gravity at the surface of the moon is about $0.165 g,$ where $g$ is the acceleration of gravity at the surface of the earth. Determine the velocity of escape for the moon.
