Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A satellite is launched from the Earth. If the mass of the Earth is approximately 5.97 Γ— 10^24 kg, calculate its escape velocity. Assume the radius of the Earth is 6.371 Γ— 10^6 m.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to substitute the values into the escape velocity formula.

Question 2

Discuss how the escape velocities of gaseous planets compare to rocky planets, providing a reasoning based on their sizes and gravitational differences.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how size affects gravitational pull.
