Difference between Characteristic energy and Escape velocity

Characteristic energy vs. Escape velocity

In astrodynamics, the characteristic energy (C_3) is a measure of the excess specific energy over that required to just barely escape from a massive body. In physics, escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for an object to escape from the gravitational influence of a massive body.

Similarities between Characteristic energy and Escape velocity

Characteristic energy and Escape velocity have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Asymptote, Ballistics, Hyperbolic trajectory, Mars, Parabolic trajectory, Semi-major and semi-minor axes, Specific orbital energy, Standard gravitational parameter, Two-body problem.

Asymptote

In analytic geometry, an asymptote of a curve is a line such that the distance between the curve and the line approaches zero as one or both of the x or y coordinates tends to infinity.

Ballistics

Ballistics is the field of mechanics that deals with the launching, flight, behavior, and effects of projectiles, especially bullets, unguided bombs, rockets, or the like; the science or art of designing and accelerating projectiles so as to achieve a desired performance.

Hyperbolic trajectory

In astrodynamics or celestial mechanics, a hyperbolic trajectory is the trajectory of any object around a central body with more than enough speed to escape the central object's gravitational pull.

Semi-major and semi-minor axes

In geometry, the major axis of an ellipse is its longest diameter: a line segment that runs through the center and both foci, with ends at the widest points of the perimeter.

Specific orbital energy

In the gravitational two-body problem, the specific orbital energy \epsilon\,\! (or vis-viva energy) of two orbiting bodies is the constant sum of their mutual potential energy (\epsilon_p\,\!) and their total kinetic energy (\epsilon_k\,\!), divided by the reduced mass.

Standard gravitational parameter

In celestial mechanics, the standard gravitational parameter μ of a celestial body is the product of the gravitational constant G and the mass M of the body.

Two-body problem

In classical mechanics, the two-body problem is to determine the motion of two point particles that interact only with each other.
