Question

Calculate the escape velocity on the surface of the moon given the masses and radius of the moon to be 7.34 X 10^22 kg and 1.74 X 10^6 m respectively​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given: G= 6,67 x 10-N m²/kg', mass of the moon = M = 7.34 x 1022 kg

and radius of the moon = R= 1.74 x 10 m. 12 GM

Escape velocit y = v esc R 2 x 6.67 x 10" X 7.34 x 1022 1.74 x 106 =2.37 km/s

Escape velocity on the moon 2.37 km/s.
