in seconds and in standard form. Present from Issac Newton ; Physicists can be heroes too
Imagine that you are superman flying back to Earth, but unexpectedly you lost your power momentarily and soon crash landed onto a NASA airspace station situated on the moon. However, you needed to go back home to save the Earth from the sinister villains in just 3 days before their planned attack. The NASA scientists thus decided to help him. Issac Newton especially, designed a device known as the Universal Projection Pad , this gadget simply adjusts to the environment and calculates the minimum projection velocity required for Superman to go back to Earth from a particular planet. Superman contemplated and wanted to find out the time taken to do so, find that time taken and save the world. Round your answer toDetails :
Assume that the journey is vacuum, which is of course, space and that the velocity projected does not change during the journey as no external forces are included.
Assume that , gravitational constant is
Radius of the Moon:
Mass of the moon:
The journey is about

Here, the Escape Velocity is that with which velocity Superman returns!
1.You know, Escape Velocity, v=√(2GM/R)
So time needed to travel the distance=Distance/Velocity=D/v.
For moon, M=7.35×10^22 kg R=1.7×10^6 m
So Escape Velocity,v=√(2GM/R)=2402.5 m/s
Finally, Distance,D=384400 km=384400×10³ m.
So Time,t=D/v=160061.27 sec≈1.6×10^5 seconds.
And its the answer!!!
