The escape speed from the moon is much smaller than from earth. True or False

True

The escape speed from the Moon is much smaller than from Earth.

Explanation:

The escape speed is defined as:

 (1)

Where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass and r is the radius.

The mass of the Earth is and its radius is

Then, replacing those values in equation 1 it is gotten.

For the case of the Moon:

Hence, the escape speed from the Moon is much smaller than from Earth.

Since it has a smaller mass and smaller radius compared to that from the Earth.

d. platinum would have the greatest temperature increase because it has the lowest specific heat.
