Escape velocity of moon is
Correct answer: A. 2.38 km/s
- A. 2.38 km/s
- B. 3.38 km/s
- C. 4.38 km/s
- D. 5.38 km/s
Explanation
Escape velocity is the minimum velocity an object needs to escape the gravitational pull of a celestial body. The Moon's escape velocity is approximately 2.38 km/s.

About Work and Energy
Work transfers energy when a force causes displacement, while kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy and power describe motion, position and the rate of energy transfer. The work-energy theorem links net work with change in kinetic energy, and efficiency accounts for energy losses rather than treating them as energy destruction.
