## heena why the escape velocity is independent of mass of projecting object and angle of projection? one year ago one year ago

1. heena

2. shivam_bhalla

See ${GM_e M_o \over R_e +h}= {1 \over 2} m_o v^2$

3. shivam_bhalla

M_e --> Mass of earth R_e -->Radius of Eart M_o-->Mass of projectile v-->escape velocity

4. shivam_bhalla

The above equation is by energy conservation

5. apoorvk

buddhi lagao. Energy concept. the potential barrier has to be crossed. apply shivam's equation above.

6. shivam_bhalla

So M_o cancels and as @apoorvk said, buddhi lagao :P

7. apoorvk

:D

8. heena

lol.. anyways i need a theoretical ans if u guys see the formulae there is a presence of mass isntd ?? which show it dependent on mass right?

9. shivam_bhalla

R---> Radius of earth h--> height of projectile from earth

10. shivam_bhalla

@heena , "Open your eyes" It shows dependence on "MASS OF THE EARTH"

11. apoorvk

Okay you mean you want a 'feel'? Hmm. Okay.

12. swalah

shiv what is buddhi lagao ?

13. shivam_bhalla

14. heena

mean use ur brain grrrrrrr.........

15. apoorvk

buddhi lagao ---> translates to --> apply brains

16. apoorvk

*sic

17. shivam_bhalla

@heena , aur kuch (anything else ) ??

18. heena

ok means it is depends on mass but mass of earth right :) thnk you all of u meri khinchai krne k liye :P popat kr diya mera hur. :D

19. shivam_bhalla

Main bhi popat bane ke bad sikha ye concept. So don't worry :D

20. shivam_bhalla

ye concept *sikha

21. heena

janti hu par guys y qn mera ni tha :P some one asked or m physc m apna dimag ni lagati sirf fimrulae se mtlb rakhti hu :P baki to aplog ho na :D :D

22. heena

but one thing surely i m not going to forgot this concept ever :P

23. shivam_bhalla

LOL Remember only the vital Formulas and derice the rest using conservation of 1) Energy 2)linear momentum 3)Angular momentum

24. shivam_bhalla

*derive

25. heena

bhalla u free?? mje isme se ek bhi derivation ni ati frnkly sayin i m so dumb plz help me if u have time tell me how we do derivation :?

26. shivam_bhalla

Sorry not *free exactly but if you want help in any specific derivation, then I can help you

27. heena

actaully in 11 my teacher dosent teach v.well thi topic i mean conservation of laws dats y i m facing problems.. :(

28. shivam_bhalla

Go through the basics of work , gravitational force, kinetic energy, linear momentum, angular momentum, Then for any derivation,you have to apply only these 2 or 3 laws conservation of 1) Energy 2)linear momentum 3)Angular momentum If you have any doubt, you can post a question here and tag me. I will try t help you with that derivation

29. shivam_bhalla

*to

30. heena

ok thnk you guys for being here i have to go to study and yea i ll shivam and one qn @shivam yeterday was ur bday?

31. shivam_bhalla

or @apoorvk

32. shivam_bhalla

@heena , yes

33. heena

dw m yaha sbko tang krne k liye hi hu :D :D and belated bday sorry unable to find u yeterday... many many returns of the belated day... and orry once again for being late to wish u...

34. shivam_bhalla

LOL np :)

35. heena

ok byee...

36. swalah

shiv are u there?

37. shivam_bhalla

yes @swalah

38. swalah

how the angle inpnd?

39. shivam_bhalla

inpnd??

40. swalah

am asking why the angle is independ of the escape velocity?

41. shivam_bhalla

LOL, Ofcourse @swalah , put an angle of projection will increase your escape velocity and escape velocity is the "minimum" velocity required to escape the gravity of earth

42. shivam_bhalla

*putting

43. swalah

@shivam_bhalla putting?

44. shivam_bhalla

LOL, Ofcourse @swalah , "putting " an angle of projection will increase your escape velocity and escape velocity is the "minimum" velocity required to escape the gravity of earth

45. swalah

thanks then what is the angle of that minimum velocity? @shivam_bhalla

46. shivam_bhalla

Ofcourse, 90 degrees

47. swalah

you assume space is spherical yeah?

48. swalah

@shivam_bhalla

49. shivam_bhalla

The gravitational force of the the earth acts spherically as a function of r.

50. swalah

thanks yar bye

51. shivam_bhalla

bye

from behalf of @Mani_Jha It doesn't matter whether you throw a bus or a ball into space. Both of them need the same speed 11.6 km/sec to do that(escape velocity of earth). A possible reason of that is that the gravitational field(g) is same for all objects on earth. All objects are in the same field(gravitational) and so require the same velocity to escape the earth. Also, whatever the object be, it has to travel the same distance from the ground to space. Although, it is more difficult to give a bus a speed of 11.6 km/sec than to a ball. Whether you throw it vertically upwards or at an angle, it doesn't matter for the speed. This is because, as shivam_bhalla said, the earth is spherically symmetrical(roughly). Look above at the sky. There is space everywhere at the same distance from you. So, from wherever you throw it, if it has a speed of 11.6 km/sec, it will reach space. , as I think that @shivam_bhalla might have been mistaken.

53. shivam_bhalla

@heena , You are right. :D I was half sleepy . thanks for correcting me. :)

54. heena

no give thanks to @Mani_Jha as i mention in behalf of him i m posting the answer..

55. heena

he is having trouble in posting answer.. :(
