SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating escape velocities for Earth, the Moon, and the Sun at specified radii. The escape velocities requested are for Earth at a radius of 9.27e4 meters, the Moon at 2.14e4 meters, and the Sun at 6.43e6 meters. A participant emphasizes the necessity of including units for accurate calculations. The conversation reflects frustration over clarity and communication regarding the topic.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of gravitational physics
  • Familiarity with the formula for escape velocity
  • Basic knowledge of astronomical bodies and their radii
  • Ability to interpret scientific notation
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the formula for escape velocity: \( v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}} \)
  • Learn about the gravitational constants for Earth, Moon, and Sun
  • Explore the implications of escape velocity in astrophysics
  • Study the differences in escape velocities among various celestial bodies
USEFUL FOR

Astronomy students, physics enthusiasts, and anyone interested in gravitational calculations and escape velocity concepts.

maybe this will make it easy for you to understand.

when in Earth at a radius of 9.27e4, you tell me what the escape velocity is?

when in the moon at a radius of 2.14e4, you tell me what the escape velocity is?

when in the sun at a radius of 6.43e6, you tell me what the escape velocity is?

see...!

and if you can't understand that then please please stop posting on my stuff.

thanks

I can't answer any of these, because you haven't included units.

Who are you talking to here?
 
He's talking to Vanadium 50, he locked his other thread. This one will be too.
