ok just a couple of questions I have been thinking about.. this is not my area of expertise so help would be greatly appreciated
Could anyone tell me how far away from Earth I would have to be before I could shoot a bullet from a gun that would hit the moon. Supposing the bullet could travel at 1000 m/s.. is there a formula I could use?
And suppose I had a metal indestructable box and could cause and explosion 100,000 + feet above the earth, how many KJ would I need to produce to send it within the moons gravitational pull?
Also if the same experiment was done at around 36,000 miles above the Earth how many K/J would need to be created?
Any help would be fantastic :D
