    What is the potential of tethers for space exploration and satellite propulsion?

    v=(2gr)^.5 g=Gm/r^2 30 miles = 4.828032e5 meters m = 5.9742e24 kilograms r = 6.378e6 + 4.828032e5 = 6.8608032e6 meters ( 2 * (6.673e-11 * 5.9742e24 / 6.8608032e6^2) * 6.8608032e6) = 1.078e4 which is roughly 1 km less per second than what the surface requires. remember orbit and escape...

    Can someone calc these escape velocities?

    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...

    Can anyone help mess around with escape velocities?

    really? really? did you even read my post? look we have 1.1e4 km/s of escape velocity on Earth at surface. the surface is at a radius of 6.378e6. one is smaller than the other! well... the closer to the center of the planet with less radius then the more escape velocity you get. THERE IS A...

    Can anyone help mess around with escape velocities?

    v=(gr2)^.5 i assume that g is directly related to r as g = Gm/r^2 in such I started to wonder when, if ever, will v = r as an INTEGER ONLY NOT DIMENSIONS? v = ( 2 * g * r )^.5 v = ( 2 * G * ( m / r^2 ) * r )^.5 v = ( 2 * G * m / r )^.5 v * r^.5 = ( 2 * G * m )^.5 REMEMBER! v=r at some point...
