Question

Example 1. Calculate the escape velocity on
the surface of the moon given the mass and
radius of the moon to be 7.34 x 10²² kg and
1.74 x 10m respectively.​

Answer 1

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.
