Difference between Escape velocity and Gravity well

Escape velocity vs. Gravity well

In physics, escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for an object to escape from the gravitational influence of a massive body. A gravity well or gravitational well is a conceptual model of the gravitational field surrounding a body in space – the more massive the body, the deeper and more extensive the gravity well associated with it.

Similarities between Escape velocity and Gravity well

Escape velocity and Gravity well have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Asymptote, Black hole, Event horizon, Gravitational constant, Gravitational potential, Parabola, Schwarzschild metric, Solar System, Sun.

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.

Black hole

A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing—not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from inside it.

Event horizon

In general relativity, an event horizon is a region in spacetime beyond which events cannot affect an outside observer.

Gravitational constant

The gravitational constant (also known as the "universal gravitational constant", the "Newtonian constant of gravitation", or the "Cavendish gravitational constant"), denoted by the letter, is an empirical physical constant involved in the calculation of gravitational effects in Sir Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation and in Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.

Gravitational potential

In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work (energy transferred) per unit mass that would be needed to move the object from a fixed reference location to the location of the object.

Parabola

In mathematics, a parabola is a plane curve which is mirror-symmetrical and is approximately U-shaped.

Schwarzschild metric

In Einstein's theory of general relativity, the Schwarzschild metric (also known as the Schwarzschild vacuum or Schwarzschild solution) is the solution to the Einstein field equations that describes the gravitational field outside a spherical mass, on the assumption that the electric charge of the mass, angular momentum of the mass, and universal cosmological constant are all zero.
