Escape velocity is the least velocity an object needs without any further propulsion to escape the Earth's gravitational field. The escape velocity for the earth is nearly 11.2 km/s. It is derived by using the conservation of energy principle that says for an object to move to an infinite distance, its kinetic energy should be equal to the gravitational potential energy.

When there is no normal force acting on a body, weightlessness is experienced, and the body free fall under gravity. The concept of gravity is still acting on the body, however, there is no weight sensation of any reaction force from any surface or ground. The weightlessness felt by the astronauts in an orbiting spacecraft is not because gravity is not present but because while they are moving forward, both, they and the spacecraft are in continuous free fall towards the Earth. The role of the normal force in defining weight can be understood from this phenomenon also how it is different from the actual gravitational force.

The gravitational pull of the Moon is the main reason behind the tides of Earth and it is less dependent on the sun. The gravitational pull of the moon on Earth is stronger than the sun's gravitational pull due to Earth's proximity to the moon. The Earth's oceans get pulled by the moon's gravity, which creates a bulge of water on the side of the Earth facing the moon. Also, another bulge gets created on the opposite side due to the water's inertia. When the earth rotates, its areas pass through these bulges which form the high and low tides. Each day, two high and two low tides are created by the gravitational interaction.

Official class profile of 2028 shows that international students must aim for SAT scores between 1340 - 1473 to get considered. University expect proof of high school completion from international UG students. In addition, students must submit some necessary documents such as a transcript, recommendation letters, short answer response, essay, and English language requirements.

No, GRE scores are not required of overseas graduate applicants at Fordham University. However, students with poor GPAs are more likely to have their GRE/GMAT scores accepted by the university. A bachelor's degree from an accredited university or its equivalent, a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 on a 4-point scale, and the completion of the required paperwork—transcripts, an essay, a letter of recommendation, a statement of purpose, a resume, and proficiency in English—are further requirements for basic eligibility.

Fordham University expects an IELTS score of 7 or above from undergraduate and graduate candidates. Along with this, students coming from diverse backgrounds must fulfill their English language requirements by submitting other mandatory scores like TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo. The English language requirements for popular UG and PG programs at the Fordham University are given below:
